Red pozzolan is characterized by having formed after a relatively rapid solidification process coupled with to strong degassing. This causes the rock to present a vitreous luster and irregular shapes with numerous pores, result of the volcanic gases that have come out through it. In fact, the porosity of the pozzolan red varies between 40 and 60% depending on the granulometry.
In addition, this volcanic rock is capable of absorbing up to 30% of its weight in water and still maintaining its shape
