Greetings to all.  I posted this recently on another BB....

"I continue to be impressed with the product that Zenyatta could produce and the markets we could supply. I especially like working with Lariplast to add graphite/graphene to cement. This market is huge and is ready to accept this new product.

I recently read an article that presented arguments about the possible downturn in the demand for cement (due to China cutting back). IMHO, the demand for "specialty concrete" (like Lariplast is pursuing) will continue to grow just like the demand for specialty steel. Adding Albany graphite/graphene to concrete makes it dry (cure) faster, have increased tensile (?) strength, and also means that less concrete in needed in each pour. Less concrete means a lower overall cost which may offset any additional cost for the admixture.

This product is desperately needed in coastal regions, earthquake zones, and in areas of civil unrest. I think that this is the future of Zenyatta until such time when the graphene market becomes fully developed."
