BEIJING, October – In the crisp and clear autumn weather of October, with its high skies and thin clouds, around 3:00 PM on the 8th, a delegation led by Ms. Chen Lihua, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and First-Level Inspector of the Retired Cadres Bureau of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (MOHURD), visited and inspected the aging-adaptation renovation and construction project of an elderly service station undertaken by YUTOO New Materials.

YUTOO New Materials, fully named Jiangsu YUTOO New Material Technology Co., Ltd., is a wholly-owned subsidiary fully controlled by Hebei Fengde Thermal Insulation Material Co., Ltd. Upholding the firm belief of strengthening productive service industries and empowering the development of new quality productive forces, YUTOO New Materials has strategically and efficiently expanded into the East China market, "igniting" a new engine for technological innovation to empower industrial upgrade. The company is committed to providing customers with high-performance building material solutions.

Located in the North Annex Building of MOHURD, the completed project will meet the basic elderly care service needs of MOHURD's retired personnels, such as meal assistance, health guidance, and cultural activities. The walls and floors of this project utilize the "XPS Composite Board" independently developed and produced by YUTOO New Materials, with wall panel thickness of 12 mm and floor panel thickness of 20 mm. "YUTOO Waterproof Sealant" was also used for sealing the joints.

Deputy Secretary Chen Lihua gained an in-depth understanding of the project progress on site, attentively listened to the project manager's introduction on the use of new green and environmentally friendly materials for construction, and visited and inspected the installation site managed by YUTOO New Materials. She emphasized the importance of adhering to a people-oriented, green, and ecological construction philosophy, paying attention to details in material selection, and creating a comfortable, healthy, and environmentally friendly living environment based on the actual needs of the elderly, demonstrating humanistic care and meticulous handling to allow the elderly to enjoy their later years happily.

The "XPS Composite Board" used in this project, independently developed by YUTOO New Materials, is a new type of low-energy, low-carbon building panel crafted using XPS extruded polystyrene board as the core material. It is prefabricated with polymer mortar (1.0-1.5 mm thick) and alkali-resistant fiberglass mesh reinforcement layers composite on its upper and lower surfaces, respectively. The board features characteristics such as being green and environmentally friendly, providing thermal insulation and energy saving, heat insulation and moisture proof, sound insulation and noise reduction, material saving and carbon reduction, being anti-bacterial and anti-mold, facilitating leveling and thin-bed installation, and being lightweight and easy to install. During the installation process, it saves both labor and construction time compared to traditional techniques. The board adopts the ENF environmental standard, equivalent to the European standard F☆☆☆☆. It is mainly used for internal and external thermal insulation of building roofs, bathroom floor backing boards, wall backing boards, kitchen countertops, basement damp-proofing, and other scenarios. It is harmless and has no side effects on the human body, causes zero pollution to the environment, and is suitable for creating green and healthy living environments, fully demonstrating YUTOO New Materials' innovation and application strength in the field of green prefabricated building materials.

In this project, the bathroom scenario where the "XPS Composite Board" was applied has a complex structure, with multiple corners, electrical outlet boxes, and cold/hot water valves. This required cutting holes of different sizes and various shapes in the boards to meet installation needs. According to statistics, the smallest round hole had a diameter of only 8 cm, while the largest rectangular hole was 40 cm high and 20 cm wide. The challenge was considerable: neither damaging the board nor affecting the aesthetics. During the specific operation, the on-site workers simplified the complexity. Leveraging the advantages of the board, they needed only a utility knife to complete holes of any size, making the operation extremely convenient. Furthermore, during installation, one worker applies adhesive on either side of the board, and it can then be bonded to the studs or the original wall, making the operation simple and the installation quick.

Previously, most domestic projects used traditional methods of building walls with bricks and cement to encase pipes, making inspection and repair extremely inconvenient. In case of sudden incidents like leaks, it could cause irreparable losses to customers. In this project, considering that the users are elderly people who have higher requirements for temperature in winter, and facing unfavorable factors such as the bathroom having a window (facing north), and the heating pipes being close to the window, YUTOO New Materials directly and rationally wrapped the "XPS Composite Board" around the heating and water pipes. They also reserved access panels according to dimensions, facilitating inspection and maintenance while enhancing heat dissipation from the radiators. This not only provides sound insulation but also effectively prevents freeze damage to the pipes during harsh winter weather, fully utilizing the board's anti-bacterial, anti-mold, freeze-resistant, and thermal insulation properties.

As a key project of MOHURD and a service project for the elderly valued by the Bureau leadership, the key phrases for the elderly service station aging-adaptation renovation and construction project are "for the elderly" and "environmental protection." To ensure that the elderly can feel spring-like warmth even in severe winter and to create a model room for the MOHURD elderly service station, YUTOO New Materials strictly controlled material production, closely managed product transportation, and rigorously supervised construction and installation during the process. From the density of waterproof sealant spray around small anchors to the flatness during board installation, responsible personnel were assigned to supervise each step on-site. From installation on uneven walls to installing small boards in corners, from tiny board joints to the overall installation density of the boards, every detail reflects the "YUTOO people's" pursuit of craftsmanship and commitment to customers. Focusing on the four major dimensions of safety, convenience, comfort, and environmental protection, they perfectly interpreted the significant meaning of YUTOO New Materials: Pioneers Without Boundaries.

Working diligently and building up strength over time for a substantial achievement. In the next step, YUTOO New Materials will fully leverage its own advantages, diligently, passionately, and lovingly commit to providing excellent customer service. While successfully completing the elderly service station aging-adaptation renovation and construction project, the company will persist in promoting industrial innovation through technological innovation, continuously optimize production processes, further deepen efforts in product R&D, marketing services, and diversified layout, continuously enhance the high-end, intelligent, and green development speed of the green building manufacturing industry, and further build a sustainable and mutually beneficial ecosystem for the green building manufacturing industry, joining hands with global customers to jointly create a better future.
