Re: [GBlist] paraffin impregnated plaster

[John Salmen <terrain@shaw.ca>]

Hi Alan

I did not think any of the pcm materials were being marketed yet. Maxit was
supposed to be a producer of a plaster product using the german research but
there has never been any information from them. There are also supposed to
be some drywall board products coming out. I read a report from LBNL from
1997.  Such good simple ideas and it takes the marketplace forever to come
out with the stuff.

If anyone has more information on products actually available - I would
appreciate hearing too.

thanks
John Salmen
