[Strawbale] 1. Fwd: Re: Lego blocks from Straw (RT)

[Marc Huebner]

Hi

This idea is qite interesting.
Does anybody know what kind of glue the guys from oryzatech are using?

I found a website:

http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/10/oryzatech-strawbale-lego-blocks-for-grown-ups.php

where they say that they are using "an undisclosed binding agent"...." are squished under pressure at temps of about 120 to 175 °C (250 to 350° F)" 

This sounds like they are using some kind of thermoplastic!?!?
Not very ecological compared to normal straw building...... .

Marc
