- Features
- Natural pozzolans do not harden themselves after being mixed with water, but if they are finely ground, they react in the presence of water at normal temperature with dissolved calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH2)) and form compounds of calcium silicates and calcium aluminates, which are carriers of increasing strength.
- Pozzolans mainly contain active silicon dioxide (SiO2) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3).
- The rest contains iron oxide (Fe2O3) and other oxides.
- The content of active silica should not be less than 25% by weight.
- Benefits
- Saves cement production costs and reduces the carbon footprint.
- Long-term increase in strength.
- High tensile strength.
- Increased lifespan.
- Increased abrasion resistance.
- Increases resistance against the chemical effects of chlorides, acids, nitrates and sulfates.
- Reducing the risk of cracks and microcracks.
- Reduces hydration heat at high daytime temperatures and in massive concrete structures.
- Reducing the risk of alkaline reactivity.
- Mixed Cements With a Proportion of Zeolite
- The positive properties, which were manifested with the correct proportions of ground zeolite in concrete, are also activated by the use of mixed cements containing zeolite.
- They enable the flexibility of inputs into the production process, which can respond more flexibly to the influences of the external (external) environment, such as the price of CO2 emissions or the price of granulated blast furnace slag.
Applications & Uses
- Industrial Additives End Use
- Uses
- Zeolite can be used as a substitute for pozzolans because it has better properties in terms of durability, it is also economical and ecological.
- It is used as an active substitution of Portland clinker, which, depending on the class of cements, with the right proportion of zeolite, enables an effective reduction of production costs.
Technical Details & Test Data
- Effect of Active SiO₂ Content on Activity and Strength Index
- From the realized Frattini test (= pozzolanic reactivity, bindingFrom the realized Frattini test (= pozzolanic reactivity, bindingCa(OH)₂ ), a high pozzolanic reactivity very close to the value of 100% effective binding of hydroxide for KlinoStone results.
- This result increases the advantages of using the product in the production of cement.
- The above-average value is achieved due to the high content of active SiO₂ of 44-54%.
- Most pozzolanic quarries on the European market do not even reach 80% pozzolanic reactivity.
