MetaStar® 501

Metastar® 501 is a premium metakaolin produced by very carefully controlled calcination. It has been engineered with a high level of pozzolanic reactivity when used in portland cement-based concrete, plaster, and mortar. Unlike other pozzolanic materials such as silica fume, fly ash, and blast-furnace slag, MetaStar® 501 metakaolin will not darken white or gray cement-based applications. The use of this engineered metakaolin in mortar, cement, and plaster can increase chemical resistance, compressive and flexural strengths and can reduce permeability. In addition, MetaStar® 501 metakaolin can aid in reducing alkali silica reactions.
