<p>A composite for constructing an article (16) which is composed of a nonmetallic substance as represented by igneous rock (11, 12, 13) of different particle sizes which are compacted and then surrounded by a solidified plastic resin (14). In a preferred manner, the igneous rock material (11, 12, 13) is a selected type of basalt with the basalt particles being of different mesh sizes to be compacted into a mold. After compaction, the plastic resin (14) as represented by an epoxy resin (14) is introduced into the mold so as to displace air from any voids surrounding the basalt particles (11, 12, 13) and to surround them with a resin (14) which later solidifies. A novel resin delivery system is also presented.</p> |
