Ok, I'm sick of crickets around here and I like the name of this "make the ground faster" product........ The product is a composition of metamorphic rocks in order to achieve an optimal rate of heat flow. the product consist of four different materials in percentage. it's a product after a long long research in this field ensures smoothness in vibration during filling, it does not create gaps and has the highest degree of thermal conductivity from the ground to the system. the thermal conductivity of the PD2 is shown in Table. It's a pure natural material,with no additives and substances that affect the environment and thermal fluids. It's a certified material according to (euro cert-Tuv cert- iso 9001-CE) POWER DUST behance.net a unique product to double the thermal conductivity of geothermal boreholes.

Sounds great and all, but double is a LOT!

Any links to third party test data?

The data on the link isn't in English and I don't know a thing about it, but like most things designed to speed up the ground the name "pixie" could easily be substituted for "power".

Yep, and you can make the refrigerator light turn on
a little faster -- by keeping the kitchen under vacuum.

According to Dr Science, of the Rice Krispies stuck to the side of an empty cereal bowl, the ones at the top dry faster since they are nearer to the sun.

I take care to serve Rice Krispies after the sun comes up.

And as we have discussed so often, that doesn't matter. Thermally better grout is always better (except for your pocketbook). But there are certainly diminishing returns.
