Semplastics announces new name for revolutionary roof tiles, X-TILES™
Semplastics? X-TILES? roof tile made of West Virginia coal
X-TILES™ are eco-friendly, fireproof roof tiles that exceed industry standards and test the limits of ceramic roof tiles. They are created and developed by Semplastics’ Advanced Materials Division, X-MAT®. X-TILES™ resulted from the company’s work with a grant from the Department of Energy.
X-TILES™ are a game-changer. By sequestering the carbon within the coal during their production, this process reduces emissions and eliminates environmental hazards. Not only are there environmental benefits to the production of X-TILES™, their manufacturing could revolutionize the coal and roofing industries–creating jobs and spurring domestic manufacturing of roof tiles.
X-TILES™ have extraordinary qualities that differentiate them from ceramic alternatives in the market. X-TILES™ are:
• 30 percent lighter than ceramic roof tiles
• Between 2-4 times stronger than ceramic roof tiles
• Able to withstand temperatures between -150 and 1,100 degrees Celsius
“We’ve made dramatic progress with our Phase 1 grant from the Department of Energy. Our X-TILES™ made of West Virginia coal could lead to ground-breaking developments in performance and safety—their fireproof abilities and strength are crucial for protecting homes in the event of natural disasters. We look forward to continuing the development of our X-TILES™,” said Bill Easter, CEO and Founder of Semplastics.
The next step for Semplastics is securing a Phase 2 grant—this will allow their team to further progress on development and production of their X-TILES™.
