Metakaolin
Detailed Product Information

Metakaolin
Metakaolin is a highly reactive mineral admixture, typically appearing as a white powder. It is produced by calcining kaolin at high temperatures (500–900°C), exhibiting good dispersibility, chemical stability, and strong adsorption properties.

- Typically supplied in 25 kg bags with an inner polyethylene lining and outer woven or laminated paper bag. Custom packaging available upon request.
- Storage:
- Store in a dry, ventilated, and clean warehouse, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Keep away from ignition sources and strong oxidizing agents. Avoid contact with acids, bases, and combustibles. Periodically inspect packaging for integrity to ensure no leakage or caking.
- Transportation:
- Use dedicated, well‑sealed vehicles to transport Metakaolin, avoiding mixing with other items. Inspect packaging integrity before transport and replace any damaged packaging. Maintain smooth transport to prevent vibration and impact damage. Personnel should wear protective equipment, including gas masks, chemical safety goggles, corrosion‑resistant clothing, and rubber gloves.
- Summary:
- Metakaolin is a highly reactive mineral admixture widely used in construction, ceramics, coatings, and cable industries. It enhances strength, durability, and performance of concrete, ceramics, and coatings. Proper moisture‑resistant packaging and storage in dry, ventilated conditions are essential to maintain product quality and prevent caking.
