Abstract
A multi-part composition comprises a curable part and a curing part. The curable part comprises a curable epoxy resin and a first silicate component. The curing part comprises a curing agent and a second silicate component. The curable part or the curing part include a chemical blowing agent. The first silicate component and the second silicate component are different. The multi-part composition further comprises water. When mixed and cured, the multi-part composition forms an epoxy-geopolymer hybrid foam.
