Patricia Billings received a patent
in 1997 for a fire resistant building material called Geobond. Patricia
Billings’ work as a sculpture artist put her on a journey to find or develop
a durable additive to prevent her painstaking plaster works from accidentally
falling and shattering. After nearly two decades of basement experiments,
the result of her efforts was a solution which when added to a mixture
of gypsum and concrete, creates an amazingly fire resistant, indestructible
plaster trademarked Geobond. Not only can Geobond add longevity to artistic
works of plastic, but also it is steadily being embraced by the construction
industry as an almost universal building material. Geobond is made with
non-toxic ingredients which makes it the ideal replacement for asbestos.
Currently Geobond is being sold in
more than 20 markets worldwide, and Patricia Billings, great grandmother,
artist, inventor remains at the helm of her carefully constructed Kansas
City-based empire.
