VISTA, Calif. , Nov. 19, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EcoBlu Products, Inc. (OTCBB:ECOB), provider of eco-friendly, protected wood products, has signed an exclusive licensing agreement with fire protection supplier Megola , (Pink Sheets:MGOA), adding to the company's proprietary BLUWOOD(TM) technology which protects wood from the harmful effects of mold, rot-decay and termites. The exclusive partnership enables EcoBlu to protect both dimensional lumber and engineered wood against another devastating threat -- fire.

As a part of the agreement, EcoBlu has acquired the exclusive rights to Megola's Hartindo AF21 Fire Inhibitor in North America as an additive to EcoBlu's BLUWOOD(TM) technology. Hartindo AF21 provides Class A fire protection for dimensional lumber, panels and engineered wood products.

"In addition to protecting wood from mold, termites, wood-rot and now fire, this agreement provides EcoBlu with a comprehensive solution able to address the long-standing problem of the increased flammability of engineered wood products," said Steve Conboy , President and CEO of EcoBlu Products, Inc.

Protecting engineered wood from fire will mitigate this threat to safety and support further growth for engineered products.

EcoBlu Adds Insulation to Its Product Line

GlobeNewswire ***"GlobeNewswire "

VISTA, Calif. , Nov. 23, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EcoBlu Products, Inc. , (OTCBB:ECOB) announced today that it has added Cool Blu Insulation, a cellulose based insulation for new construction and retrofits, to its product line. Cool Blu Insulation will contain EcoBlu's mold protection as well as its exclusive FRC(TM) technology (Fire Retardant Coating) to provide Class A fire protection.

Cool Blu Insulation is a natural product made from 85% recycled paper fiber, is safe for the environment, contains no harmful chemicals or irritants, and does not pose off gassing or Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) concerns. When installed, it provides home builders superior thermal performance, sound control and permanent fire resistance. Recent research shows the United States insulation market is $8.5 billion and is expected to grow 5.3% annually through 2012. This is potential positive revenue growth for EcoBlu and is an excellent complement to its wood products.

"This addition to our product line gets us closer to offering a complete package of eco-friendly building materials. Our goal is to provide products that save energy, improve indoor air quality, improve the sustainability of our forests and save lives," said Steve Conboy , President and CEO of EcoBlu Products . "Using Cool Blu Insulation along with our BLUWOOD(TM) coated wood products will allow builders and developers to build safer and more energy efficient homes," added Conboy.

Cool Blu Insulation is proven to reduce energy consumption by slowing air infiltration better than other insulation materials due to its density, and outperforms fiberglass insulation products with 57% better fire resistance.

The Company will also be demonstrating their exclusive FRC technology (Fire Retardant Coating) on wood structures and new Cool Blu Insulation today at the grand opening of its EcoGreen Exchange, a showplace for green building products and new corporate headquarters for EcoBlu Products . The grand opening will feature TV personality Lisa Ling and her husband Dr. Paul Song who are building an energy neutral home using EcoBlu products and are active in the environmental community.

CONSTRUCTION: EcoBlu strikes sparks with fire-resistant lumber

VISTA ----- EcoBlu Products Inc., the maker of blue-coated lumber that resists mold, termites and fire, showed off its goods and promoted an alliance with other "green" home products makers at an open house Monday.

EcoBlu, which is traded over the counter under the symbol ECOB, hosted an appearance by TV personality Lisa Ling, a demonstration burning of lumber with and without the EcoBlu treatment, and the grand opening of its EcoGreen Exchange.

The EcoGreen Exchange houses exhibits and brochures from a variety of "green" building material vendors, designed to bring into one place all the products and services that go into making an environmentally friendly home. The permanent exhibition is held at EcoBlu's headquarters, at 909 W. Vista Way, reachable at 877-732-6258 or EcoBlu Products :: Build Safe, Build Green, Build EcoBlu.

Ling said she got in touch with EcoBlu when she and her husband, Paul Song, now on EcoBlu's advisory board, were planning an energy-efficient home in Santa Monica.

"Our architect found out about it, and we learned it was fire-retardant, mold- and termite-resistant," Ling said. "We thought, let's seriously consider this, because we live in a state that is so severely plagued by fires. My husband's a doctor and he has studied mold-related illness. So to avoid those things is hugely important for us."

Steve Conboy, EcoBlu's CEO, said he's been in the housing business for decades, starting as a carpenter more than 30 years ago in New York, then as a house framer in Mission Viejo, and from there into the lumber business.

Conboy said California's multibillion-dollar plague of litigation over construction defects convinced him that the best way to reduce lawsuits was to attack them at the source.

"We can't sustain insurance that way, so we're trying to get a tax incentive for protecting lumber," he said.

Making lumber last longer reduces the demand on forests, saving trees, Conboy said.

"We've been pulling from the same forests since World War II. We're consuming trees like there's no tomorrow, and when you protect the lumber there's no need to go back and replace it."

EcoBlu became a public company this summer after a "reverse merger." An already-public company, N8 Concepts Inc., purchased EcoBlu Products and adopted its name. It has no revenues, the company said in regulatory filings Monday.

Reverse mergers are less expensive and quicker than a traditional initial public stock offering, so they are attractive to smaller companies like EcoBlu. The company's stock closed Monday at 0.375 cents per share, down 15 percent for the day.
