MetakAolin
Your green alternative.
Whitemud's EnviroPozz™ metakaolin is processed from naturally occurring kaolin clay into a dry, off-white fine powder cementitious material that meets the criteria for a Class "N" natural pozzolan in accordance with both the CSA A3000 and ASTM C618 standards. As a supplementary cementing material (SCM), EnviroPozz™ improves the quality, strength, resistance to chemical attack, durability and environmental footprint of concrete and other cementitious based products.
EnviroPozz™ is a cost effective alternative when used as a singular SCM in a concrete mix or a cement blend design, but is equally effective when used in conjunction with other commonly used SCM's such as Fly Ash, Slag or Silica Fume.

PRODUCT BENEFITS
Increased Strength
Remarkable Versatility
Remarkable Versatility
With up to 15% strength gains at cement replacement levels as low as 10%, including elevated early age strength development, EnviroPozz™ creates the strength you need, with less cementitious material.
Remarkable Versatility
Remarkable Versatility
Remarkable Versatility
As a highly efficient natural pozzolan, EnviroPozz™ can easily be incorporated into any cementitious design through the direct replacement of cement with minimum additional design considerations.
Improved Durability
Remarkable Versatility
Improved Durability
Through a reduction in porosity and an increase in strength, EnviroPozz™ blends are more durable than those using cement alone, providing additional chloride, ASR and SR mitigation properties.

PRODUCT Comparison
Comparing EnviroPozz™ to Other SCMs
Fly Ash: Sources of quality fly ash are being rapidly reduced as coal fired power plants are phased out across North America.
Slag: Less readily available versus other SCMs due to its elevated processing requirements.
Silica Fume: Very expensive and North American supplies are limited.
Metakaolin: A cost effective alternative with security of supply and excellent performance.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
At Whitemud, we understand the importance of not only product performance, but product consistency. Our facility was designed to operate with those two very important factors in mind, while also including an in-house material testing lab.
Quality control measures are followed throughout the production process, from the initial mining phase, to the end product milling and handling. The result is a consistent product that our clients can count on from their product deliveries. EnviroPozz™ is a consistently dependable SCM.
Our corporate, experienced, materials technologist conducts numerous tests on a daily basis to ensure that our product meets the consistency and performance requirements necessary.
In addition, we have the ability to work with our clients to complete basic mix design evaluations through compressive strength blend testing.
