Metakaolin One of-its-kind Mineral Admixture for High Strength Concrete

One cannot imagine a world without concrete. The omnipotent material is everywhere around us. In fact, it has been in some form or the other over the past several centuries. However, the way concrete is made has undergone a sea change. Similarly, the ingredients that make up concrete have changed over a period of time. We are living in the day and age of High Performance Concrete (HPC). The addition of admixtures to the HPC mixes is what gives it the superior strength and durability. Metakaolin is one of the most widely used mineral admixtures these days for HPC mixes. It helps concrete obtain both higher performance and economy.
