Improved Handling and Color Matching

 

KAOROCK™ is processed under strict controlled conditions; thereby the consistency of color is very good. KAOROCK™ is not a by-product as other pozzolans such as silica fume and fly ash; therefore, the color is not strictly defined by the original raw materials that make the product.

 

Since it is white, it will not darken the appearance of concrete. Therefore, it is a perfect choice in architectural applications such as countertops, block or pavers. Furthermore, the water demand is not as great as with silica fume, and hence, fresh concrete becomes easier to work with by not being so “sticky”.
