Concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, coarse aggregate, water, and different additives. In this study, the potential of metakaolin as a partial replacement for cement in concrete was investigated. A C-25 concrete with 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% replacement levels of metakaolin by weight of cement with 0.49% water-to-cement ratio was employed.
The firing process in the kiln converts the relatively weak green ceramic piece into a strong and durable product [33]. Once the ceramic body is fired, the process is irreversible. As calcined kaolin is clay materials, they have the ability to mix with water and harden. For application purposes, the cement powder produced was added with water.

Consequently, this additive fulfills a dual purpose in re-dispersible powders, it serves as anti-caking agent and also accelerates film formation while polyvinylalcohol retards particle coalescence. The SB latex achieves a coherent polymer film faster than the EVA dispersion, due to its smaller particle size (~ 200 nm).
Metakaolin made from kaolin is used around the world but rarely in Vietnam where abundant deposits of kaolin is found. The first studies of producing metakaolin were conducted with high quality Vietnamese kaolins. The results showed the potential to produce metakaolin, and its effect has on strength development of mortars and concretes.
