1. An inorganic polymer composition, comprising the reaction product of:
- reactive powder comprising 85% or greater fly ash, andan activator, wherein the activator includes a citrate or citric acid, and wherein the activator further includes sodium hydroxide;
in the presence of water and an aerating agent selected from the group consisting of blowing agents, foaming agents, and mixtures thereof,wherein the reactive powder includes 5% by weight or less of Portland cement,wherein the activator is present in an amount of from 1.5% to 8.5% dry weight, based on the weight of the reactive powder, andwherein the aerating agent is present in an amount of from 1% to 8%, by weight of the reactive powder.
