OPTIPOZZ™

 FINISH SLABS SOONER

TURN precast forms more quickly. Finish slabs sooner. With OPTIPOZZ^TM, the new high-reactivity, flash-calcined metakaolin that outperforms traditional pozzolans such as silica fume and fly ash.

 CURES FAST

OPTIPOZZ^TM cures fast. This gives cement-based products significant compressive and flexural strength early in the curing process. Precast producers can now turn forms more quickly.

 STRONGER, HARDER, FASTER

Also, an OPTIPOZZ^TM mix design produces less bleedwater, so slabs can be finished sooner. In short, OPTIPOZZ^TMmakes cement-based products stronger, harder, faster. But, there’s more.

 EASY TO HANDLE

OPTIPOZZ^TM is easy to handle. It comes in powder form, packaged in paper bags, bulk trucks or bulk railcars. Its low dusting characteristics allow for easy dispersion in the mix design. Clean-up is a snap. OPTIPOZZ^TM is white, so there is no dark undertone to cementitious products.

Due to its chemical composition and as a result of a unique heat treatment process BURGESS OPTIPOZZ^TM is a highly reactive metakaolin that is categorized as a Class N Pozzolan. The term “highly reactive” means that OPTIPOZZ^TM metakaolin is available to react with the free lime produced as a result of the Portland cement.

By utilizing OPTIPOZZ^TM metakaolin in a cementitious mix design, the working characteristics of wet concrete and finished properties of cured concrete are significantly improved.

ADDITIONAL INFO:

By replacing 10% - 20% of the weight of cement in the mix design,OPTIPOZZ^TM will significantly reduce efflorescence.
