Features Of Imerys Metastar 501 Metakaolin

  1. Highly reactive, calcined kaolin with optimized particle size distribution for enhanced pozzolanic activity.

  2. Consistent chemical composition and phase purity (predominantly amorphous metakaolin with minimal residual quartz).

  3. Low moisture content (<0.5%) ensuring excellent flowability and handling in dry-blend systems.

  4. Neutral pH and low soluble salt content, minimizing risk of efflorescence and alkali-silica reaction (ASR) mitigation.

  5. Engineered for superior dispersion in cementitious matrices, improving early-age strength development and long-term durability.

Typical Applications Of Imerys Metastar 501 Metakaolin

  1. High-performance concrete (HPC) and ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) formulations.

  2. Prestressed and precast concrete elements requiring low permeability and high dimensional stability.

  3. Repair mortars and grouts where rapid strength gain and reduced shrinkage are critical.

  4. Decorative architectural concrete and exposed-aggregate finishes demanding uniform color and surface integrity.

  5. Oil & gas well cementing additives for improved compressive strength and thermal stability.
