Metakaolin is a highly reactive pozzolan with a fine particle size. This unique material is derived from the thermal activation of high-purity kaolin clay, processed within a carefully controlled temperature range. The result is a versatile product that offers various benefits to concrete and other Portland cement based materials.<\/p>\n
When incorporated into concrete mixes and other Portland cement based materials,\u00a0 Metakaolin reacts with the calcium hydroxide of Portland cement at room temperature and forms calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) gel which increases the density of concrete and other cement based material by reducing porosity. As a consequence, the overall strength and durability are significantly improved. Additionally, the inclusion of this metakaolin helps mitigate issues such as efflorescence and alkali-silica reactions, thereby enhancing the long-term performance of cement-based structures. Furthermore, the material contributes to the increased resistance to corrosion, bolstering its longevity and structural integrity.<\/p>\n
The versatility of Bisley Metakaolin is evident in its use within the ceramic industry and as a partial replacement for cement in concrete production. Whether in tile adhesives, grouts, pre-cast concrete, high-performance concrete, construction grouts, or cement-based mortars, Snowcano Metakaolin finds wide application due to its outstanding characteristics and contributions to the material’s overall quality and performance.<\/p>\n
