Construction & Industrial Materials

In construction, zeolite is more than a simple filler. Thanks to its fine powder structure and reactive silica content, it is a material capable of the pozzolanic reaction, and is being evaluated as a supplementary or auxiliary material in a wide range of construction materials such as cement, concrete, mortar, and asphalt.

It is also drawing attention as a functional industrial material in applications such as coatings and paints, de-icing, and slip prevention.

Considerations for Construction & Industrial Use

The performance of zeolite as a construction material can vary significantly depending on mix design, particle size, replacement ratio, and curing conditions. Before actual application, mix trials and material property reviews must always be carried out first.

Construction & Industrial Materials

In construction, zeolite is more than a simple filler. Thanks to its reactive silica content of 66.7% SiO₂ and fine powder structure, it is a material capable of the pozzolanic reaction (per ASTM C618), and is being evaluated as a supplementary or auxiliary material in a wide range of construction materials such as cement, concrete, mortar, and asphalt.

KMI natural clinoptilolite has a hardness of 4.0–5.0 Mohs, a specific gravity of 1.89, and a bulk density of 720–865 kg/m³. In construction, powder of 100 mesh or finer (<150μm, median 50μm) is mainly used as a pozzolan, cement replacement, and admixture; 8×14 mesh (1.4–2.4mm) granules are used as a de-icing and slip-prevention material; and 4×8 mesh (2.4–4.8mm) coarse granules are used in large packed beds and air scrubbers.

It is also drawing attention as a functional industrial material in applications such as coatings and paints, warm-mix asphalt (as a moisture source), and stucco and mortar additives.
