Should MetaMax® be added as a replacement to cement or in addition to cement?

MetaMax can be effective when used either in addition to the original cement content or as a small replacement for the cement. How to formulate with MetaMax depends upon which method is easiest to implement. If the current formulation is based upon bags of cement, the easiest method is to use MetaMax in addition to the existing content. If batching ready-mixed concrete or creating pre-packaged systems, MetaMax can be used as a replacement for a portion of the cement. In both cases, MetaMax will react with the lime produced as a by-product of the cement hydration to form additional beneficial cementitious products.
