Pozzolana

Pozzolana, also known as pozzolanic ash, is a siliceous or siliceous and aluminous material which reacts with calcium hydroxide in the presence of water at room temperature. In this reaction insoluble calcium silicate hydrate and calcium aluminate hydrate compounds are formed possessing cementitious properties.
