Why Kaolin

The role our kaolin plays in your cement mix

Pozzolanic Reactivity

Metakaolin reacts with calcium hydroxide to form additional binding compounds.

Strength & Durability

Improves compressive strength and reduces permeability in concrete.

Consistent Raw Material Chemistry

Stable silica and alumina levels support predictable clinker chemistry.

Reduced Clinker Factor

Supports lower clinker content in blended cement without compromising performance.

FAQ's

Cement Kaolin — Common Questions

Calcined kaolin, processed into metakaolin, reacts pozzolanically with the calcium hydroxide released during cement hydration, improving strength development, reducing permeability and enhancing long-term concrete durability.

Our SS-CM 400 and SS-CM 500 grades, with higher alumina content and controlled reactivity, are recommended for metakaolin-based concrete admixtures and specialty cement applications.

We supply in 25 kg and 50 kg HDPE bags, 1-tonne jumbo (FIBC) bags, and bulk container loading for large cement and concrete admixture plants.
