Why does ultrafine fly ash perform differently?
Unlike conventional fly ash, engineered ultrafine fly ash is processed to achieve a finer and more controlled particle-size distribution. Its predominantly spherical morphology and increased surface area can improve particle packing, pore refinement and pozzolanic interaction, supporting more consistent performance in appropriately designed cementitious systems.
