Metakaolin Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Metakaolinite
Metakaolin supplier enquiries in Malaysia cover a reactive aluminosilicate powder used as a pozzolan, supplementary cementitious material and functional mineral filler. Also called metakaolinite, it is produced by controlled calcination of kaolin but is not interchangeable with raw kaolin or every calcined-kaolin grade.
High-reactivity metakaolin supports concrete, mortar, grout and geopolymer binder design, while controlled-colour grades suit architectural and appearance-sensitive formulations. Fine-particle grades are selected where dispersion, packing and reactive surface area affect processing.
Buyers commonly specify pozzolanic reactivity, particle-size distribution, moisture, loss on ignition, silica and alumina profile, colour and brightness. Applications include cementitious construction products, alkali-activated binders, dry-mix coatings and adhesives, and selected mineral-filled paper formulations.
Send the required grade, performance targets, particle size, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.
- Grade
- high-reactivity metakaolin, controlled-colour metakaolin, fine-particle formulation grade
- Appearance
- off-white, cream or pale buff fine powder according to grade
Metakaolin grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High-reactivity metakaolin | fine dry powder | — | Concrete, mortar, grout and precast formulations that use metakaolin as a reactive pozzolan or supplementary cementitious material. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Controlled-colour metakaolin | fine off-white to pale powder | — | Architectural concrete, light-coloured cement products and mineral-filled formulations that define brightness, colour and impurity limits. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Fine-particle metakaolin | classified fine powder | — | Alkali-activated binders, geopolymer systems, dry mixes and specialty mineral formulations selected by particle size and reactive performance. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Metakaolin applications
Safety and handling
Keep bags or containers closed and dry to prevent moisture uptake, contamination and agglomeration. Control airborne dust during transfer and mixing, and follow the safety information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about Metakaolin
Is metakaolin the same as raw kaolin?
No. Raw kaolin retains the crystalline structure of the original clay mineral. Metakaolin is produced by controlled thermal treatment that dehydroxylates kaolinite and creates a more reactive aluminosilicate. The two materials therefore serve different functions in cement and formulated products.
Is every calcined kaolin grade metakaolin?
No. Metakaolin is a controlled reactive member of the calcined-kaolin family. Other calcined kaolin grades may be processed for brightness, opacity, electrical or filler performance rather than pozzolanic reactivity. Specify metakaolin when the application depends on reaction in a cementitious or alkali-activated system.
Which specifications matter when buying metakaolin?
Common enquiry points include pozzolanic reactivity, particle-size distribution, moisture, loss on ignition, silica and alumina profile, colour and brightness. Cement, geopolymer and filler applications weigh these properties differently, so include the end use and current target specification.
Should I request high-reactivity or controlled-colour metakaolin?
High-reactivity material suits concrete, mortar and geopolymer systems that prioritise binder response. Controlled-colour material suits architectural concrete and light-coloured formulations where appearance also matters. Send both the performance and colour targets when they are equally important.
How is metakaolin used in concrete and mortar?
It is blended into a designed binder system as a reactive pozzolan and supplementary cementitious material. The appropriate addition level depends on the cement, aggregates, admixtures, curing and required performance, so confirm it through the formulator's mix design and trials.
Can metakaolin be used in geopolymer formulations?
Yes, suitable grades provide a reactive aluminosilicate feedstock for alkali-activated and geopolymer systems. Specify particle size, chemical profile, loss on ignition and reactivity because these influence mixing and binder response.
What packing and documents can be requested for metakaolin?
Send the preferred pack format and required product documents with the enquiry. Available packing, documentation and commercial details are confirmed for the specific grade in the quotation.
What is needed for a metakaolin price enquiry in Malaysia?
Send the grade, reactivity and particle-size requirements, application, quantity and delivery location. Include colour, packing and document preferences so the quotation can cover the complete requirement and state its validity period.
