What if it mutates? It'd be like The Blob meets The Thing. I don't think fire extinguishers will stop it then.
I wonder how this would work for making buildings in big cities? Imagine all of the big buildings and sidewalks using this stuff. Hmmm...
It'll take a minor miracle to see this stuff in production though. The city/state contracts building and roadwork to the lowest bidder. The lowest bidder isn't going to be the lowest bidder if he has to factor in a 1/3 increase in concrete costs... see? We'll all be walking around wearing half-face respirators and using acid-resistant umbrellas and raincoats long before this stuff becomes widely used.
Still it is new technology, which is inevitably more expensive. Maybe if rich cities buy it first, prices will start to drop. Like any new tech. :) I'm thinking we'll see this used in wealthier driveways first. Maybe a handful of eco-friendly people (i.e. hippies) who can afford it. I would if I could. Even if it doesn't actually help in such small quantities, every little bit helps. Or helps me feel better. :)
