Three years ago Iwas in contact with the Aquarian Agency who had
developped a product called Aquastone. The material is made of gypsum
based wastes from oil/fertilizer/metalurgic industries. The fabrication
process removes taxicity. Aquastone was claimed to be light,
nonshrinking, highly insulating, fire resistant, fast setting
(underwater and elsewher), moldable into anything, cheap, and resistant
to acids. They are building a site: http://www.aquarian.com.au/.
The fabrication process is a spin off Viktor Schauberger studies and
devices (implosive technologies).
