This template has been created for transclusion in the articles Concrete, Cement, and Silica fume. It replaces the file at right.
That file had been tagged for translation to SVG format, as if it were a graphic. But since it is really a table, I have re-rendered it in wiki markup. This template page is now the only page in the wiki that refers to the file, and here only by way of documenting the provenance of the information.
The references cited in the table have been freshly extracted from the source document of the table.
There should be added a column of the properties of Metakaolin when feasible. Also might be added the properties of the components of Geopolymer.
