Metapor® is a metakaolin with small amounts of fine expanded glass. It is used as reactive pozzolanic hardening additive for cement- and lime-based binder systems. Metapor® is also ideal as filler for plastic applications. Because of its beneficial properties Metapor® can improve significantly the characteristics of mineral construction materials, ceramic products and plastics components. Metapor® originates from the production process of Poraver® expanded glass granulate without any extra energy entry for the manufacturing. Benefits: - Very high and fast activity in the lime-binding process
- Use as substitute for binder results in material savings
- Densification of the material structure
- Increased strength in mineral systems
- Improves the rheological properties of materials
- Low swelling-shrinking behavior
- Improves the resistance against sulfate attack
Applications:- Lime-bound systems
- Concrete, mortar, plaster, stucco
- Cementitious tile adhesives
- Substitute of fly ash and other fillers
- Fluxing agent and whitener for ceramic products
- Geopolymers
