    What is the name of this plastic material?

    All I remember about it is that it was on future weapons this plastic can float on water and they used it to armor up a dinghy boat the kind the seals use. It's supposed to be even stronger than Kevlar.

    I recently read about something called perlite, a lightweight glass from volcanic rock used in many ways from constrution to gardning. Maybe this is not it but your question is intersting.
