What is metakaolin? It is a highly active aluminosilicate pozzolanic additive (fine-grained rock type). The mineral composition of metakaolin is a highly reactive, alumina- and silica-rich inert material. Metakaolin is mainly obtained by calcining kaolin clay at 500&deg;C to 800&deg;C (a fine-grained clay processed to less than 0.002 mm, with H₂O and CO removed). Kaolin clay has long been used by our ancestors in pottery and ceramic art.

In recent decades, metakaolin (2&ndash;8% content) has begun to be added to concrete in residential construction around the world. Concrete mixed with metakaolin or basalt is considered more environmentally friendly. The addition of basalt or metakaolin to concrete can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 70%. In the East, it was traditional to shape clay into bricks and fire them in kilns. This method is still widely used today.

Metakaolin has a strong effect on concrete. It accelerates cement hydration and hardening, improves the structure of cement stone by making it denser and smoother, and enhances its physical and mechanical properties. It increases surface resistance to external influences by up to 30%. Concrete mixed with metakaolin becomes more flexible and easier to level when poured.

Its addition reduces stickiness to tools and surface adhesion during smoothing. It also significantly reduces shrinkage deformation, allowing for expansion without cracks.

Our sunny country is rich in kaolin reserves, especially kaolinitic sandstone. There is a deposit of such sandstone located 4 km north of the Gyzylgaya settlement in Balkan province. Kaolin clays are not only used in construction but also in the production of porcelain, faience, ceramics, heat-resistant bricks (high-alumina bricks), as well as in the paper, rubber, medical and cosmetic industries.
