CHDT) today announced that industry-leading testing firm IRT has completed the foam assembly process testing for the China-manufactured Clay Roofing Tiles to be sold by China Direct's Overseas Building Supply (OBS) subsidiary. Final foam assembly testing results show that the company's clay roofing tile exceeded Metro-Dade County acceptance requirements for adhesion with foam by a magnitude of two times. Final assembly testing involves building mock-up roofs to show how the tiles are installed using the three most commonly used methods -- foam, nails and mortar -- and then using mechanical devices to measure the force required to detach them from the test roof. The foam assembly testing report is available at www.chdt.us/foam.pdf John D'Annunzio, CEO of IRT Inc. said, "We have completed all the physical properties testing for Metro-Dade certification and China Direct Clay Roof tiles have tested significantly above industry and building code standards. For the assembly testing we test to system failure, and in the case of the foam assembly process testing the China Direct tiles not only tested to an adhesion rate of 132 pounds, over twice that of the code requirement of 60 pounds, but at point of failure it was the assembly foam that lost adhesion, and the tile did not break." OBS tiles previously surpassed the basic physical requirements tests for compression, permeability and absorption, winning Dade County code approval. The final assembly test results were submitted to Dade County Product Approval dept. last Friday and the company looks forward to receiving their NOA (Notice of Acceptance) on or before July 21st. The company now can begin selling tiles anywhere in the world except Dade and Broward Counties. Upon receipt of Dade County's NOA the company can then sell tiles in Dade and Broward Counties where homeowners are waiting one year for tile deliveries. At current production capacity OBS can deliver up to 2.5 million tiles per month at an average price of $2.00 each. "We knew our tiles were strong, but these testing results exceeded even our highest expectations," said Howard Ullman, Chairman and CEO of China Direct Trading Corp. "The high-quality glaze we use on our clay tiles also make them self-cleaning in heavy rains, which when combined with their superior strength make for a very low-maintenance and long-lasting roof tile that is ideal for the South Florida market."
