Description
OPTIPOZZ / METAKAOLIN , Highly Reactive Calcined Kaolin, FIVE (5) poundsThis material is for GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE... as in Concrete Countertops and other high performance concrete applications
FINISH SLABS SOONER
TURN precast forms more quickly. Finish slabs sooner. With OPTIPOZZ
TM
, the new high-reactivity, flash-calcined metakaolin that outperforms traditional pozzolans such as silica fume and fly ash.
CURES FAST
OPTIPOZZ
TM
cures fast. This gives cement-based products significant compressive and flexural strength early in the curing process. Precast producers can now turn forms more quickly.
STRONGER, HARDER, FASTER
Also, an OPTIPOZZ
TM
mix design produces less bleedwater, so slabs can be finished sooner. In short, OPTIPOZZ
TM
makes cement-based products stronger, harder, faster. But, there’s more.
EASY TO HANDLE
OPTIPOZZ
TM
is easy to handle. It comes in powder form, packaged in paper bags, bulk trucks or bulk railcars. Its low dusting characteristics allow for easy dispersion in the mix design. Clean-up is a snap. OPTIPOZZ
TM
is white, so there is no dark undertone to cementitious products.
What Is Optipozz™
Due to its chemical composition and as a result of a unique heat treatment process OPTIPOZZ
TM
is a highly reactive metakaolin that is categorized as a Class N Pozzolan. The term “highly reactive” means that OPTIPOZZ
TM
metakaolin is available to react with the free lime produced as a result of the Portland cement.
By utilizing OPTIPOZZ
TM
metakaolin in a cementitious mix design, the working characteristics of wet concrete and finished properties of cured concrete are significantly improved.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
By replacing 10% - 20% of the weight of cement in the mix design,OPTIPOZZ
TM
will significantly reduce efflorescence.
