Metakaolin

What is METAKAOLIN? Pozzofilz Metakaolin is processed from Kaolin clay which is transition mineralogical Dhaseto an Amorphous Alumino-silicate highly reactive substance for calcium hydroxide, a normal cement hydration by product to convert stable cement complex with very high strength and durability. Where Metakaolin can be used ?

• High strength concrete
• Self compacting Concretes
• Shot crating, Tunneling work
• Bridges and Dams
• Nuclear power stations
• Agricultural applications (esp. silage storage, milking parlors, poultry houses)
• Marine structures; Underground structures
• Floors where high abrasion resistance is required
• Metakaolin concrete is particularly suitable for repair work also

POZZOFILZ METAKAOLIN is now PROVEN alternate to concrete users where no need to depend only on MICROS1LICA

• Excellent Workability with greater advantages of Pumpability and flow of concrete is concern.
• Increased Strength at the same level @ Microsilica is used
• Reduced Permeability
• Control of Alkali-Silica Reactivity
• Enhancement of Lower/Slower Reactivity Materials - Fly Ash, GGBS
• Reduction upto 30% of Super-Plasticizer and cost benefits
• Metakaolin can also added along with Fly ash for enhancement of strength and economy.
• Increased Service Life
• Improved Performance
• Improved Appearance in GFRC or colored Concrete

OTHER ADVANTAGES OF METAKAOLIN AGAINST MICRO SILICA

• Disperses more rapidly
• Produces a creamier consistency Requires less water and less water reducer (super plasticizer)
• Less prone to plastic shrinkage cracking
• Consolidates more easily into formwork
• Generates less bleed water
