Geopolymers are promising modern building materials, serving as an alternative to Portland cement-based concretes. Optimizing the chemical and granulometric composition of geopolymer components, particularly metakaolin, allows for controlling the hardening rate, increasing durability and mechanical properties, and adapting geopolymers to specific application conditions. This study analyzes metakaolin MK 40 and highly active metakaolin HAM, their chemical composition and particle distribution, as well as the influence of these factors on the properties of geopolymers.
