  • Green360 Technologies Unveils MKX Ultra Fine, Expands High-Strength Concrete Market Reach
    June 18, 2026, 8:54 PM EDT. Green360 Technologies (ASX:GT3) launched MKX Ultra Fine, a second metakaolin product that replaces silica fume one-for-one in high-strength concrete, confirmed independently by University of Melbourne to match strength specs. This expands Green360's commercial platform beyond its existing MKX Calcined Clay product targeting fly ash and slag replacement. Silica fume commands a premium price in niche markets for infrastructure-grade concrete, potentially improving Green360's margins and market value. The product addresses critical supply shortages caused by declines in fly ash, slag, and silica fume availability due to coal plant closures and reduced silicon metal production. The company now offers a versatile toolkit responding to a shrinking supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) supply, providing concrete producers essential alternatives for durable infrastructure.
