Application Insights

The South America metakaolin market by application was led by concrete admixtures segment. The concrete admixture is the most widely used and versatile building materials which are generally used to resist compressive force. The addition of some pozzolanic materials can improve the several properties of concrete such as workability, durability, permeability and strength resistance to cracks. Metakaolin as pozzolanic materials is widely used in the concrete admixture as it is highly efficient and react with the excess calcium hydroxide resulting from ordinary Portland cement hydration by a pozzolanic reaction, to produce calcium aluminosilicate hydrates and calcium silicate hydrate.
