Introduction: In recent years, researchers have been evaluating the potential use of a wide range of raw materials in the production of geopolymers. This paper reports the convenience of using a natural puzzolan of pumice type from Paipa (Colombia) as a substitute material for cement (100% puzzolan) in the production of geopolymeric mortars.
Objective: The objective of this research focuses on the use of pumice stone as raw material in the production of geopolymeric cements in order to establish its mechanical behavior and durability.
Method: Type I Portland cement, natural puzzolan and sand were used as starting materials in the preparation of geopolymeric mortars from the alkaline activation of natural puzzolan. The geopolymeric mortars were prepared and tested according to the standards of the Colombian Institute of Technical Standards and the National Institute of Roads.
Results: The tests in geopolymers offer encouraging results and show a good potential in the preparation of cement with puzzolan exhibiting an adequate durability and resistance to relatively high compression at 28 days to be accepted in the development of new cementitious materials.
Conclusions: The use of natural puzzolan in the production of geopolymers becomes important for its role in the durability of the mortar under extreme and aggressive environmental conditions.
