Due to its chemical composition and as a result of a unique heat treatment process BURGESS OPTIPOZZ™ is a highly reactive metakaolin that is categorized as a Class N Pozzolan. The term “highly reactive” means that OPTIPOZZ™ metakaolin is available to react with the free lime produced as a result of the hydration of the Portland cement.
By utilizing OPTIPOZZ™ metakaolin in a cementitious mix design, the working characteristics of wet concrete and finished properties of cured concrete are significantly improved.
By replacing 10% – 20% of the weight of cement in the mix design, OPTIPOZZ™ will significantly reduce efflorescence.
OPTIPOZZ™ in cement mixtures can:
- Reduce permeability
- Improve ease of finishing
- Lower cement content (lower shrinkage)
- Reduce efflorescence
- Eliminate bleed water – capillary channels
- Increase compressive and flexural strength
- Increase chemical resistance & durability
- Reduce ASR (Alkali Silica Reaction) by replacing 8% – 12% of the cement in a mix design
OPTIPOZZ™ Examples:
- High Strength Concrete mix designs – Commercial buildings
- Parking deck structures
- Bridge decks, piers, pilings, seawalls
- Pool plasters
- Self-compacting (consolidating) concrete (SCC)
- Self-leveling compounds
- Concrete countertops
- Shotcrete Faux (artificial) rocks
