METAKAOLIN

Metakaolin is a highly reactive pozzolanic material obtained from the controlled calcination of natural kaolin. This process transforms kaolin into a product that significantly enhances the performance of premixed mortars, lime, and cement-based materials. Our company partners with Ashapura, a global leader in metakaolin production, offering products with various characteristics to meet a wide range of customer needs.

Properties of Metakaolin

Pozzolanic Reactivity

Metakaolin reacts with calcium hydroxide released during cement hydration, increasing the pozzolanicity of the structure and thus improving strength and durability.

Reduced Permeability

The use of metakaolin in cementitious compounds decreases system permeability, enhancing resistance to aggressive agents.

Aesthetic Improvement

Provides a lighter, more uniform color, improving the aesthetic appearance of structures.

Applications of Metakaolin

Repair and Restoration

Ideal for restoring historic buildings, integrating with existing materials and enhancing durability.

Construction and Building

Used to produce high-performance mortars in both fluid and thixotropic systems for horizontal and vertical applications.

Refractory Materials

Improves fire resistance and thermal properties of refractory materials.

Precast Products

Used in precast element production, ensuring superior quality and longevity.

Target Markets

Cement Industry

Where strength and durability are essential, metakaolin is a preferred additive to enhance mixture quality.

Civil Engineering

For projects requiring high-performance materials and long service life.

Design and Architecture
