Re-plasterer is suggesting Metamax fortified plaster, can't find anything on it

[qofmiwok]

Previously he suggested Diamondbrite. The cost has gone up so much we said just do regular plaster (still $24k even without changing the waterline tile which we wanted to do because the grout between the mosaics always gets algae even after having it redone previously.)
The only Metamax I can find is one site that makes an additive called that for concrete. Any idea what this is and whether it's good?

I find nothing in the archives here with that name....
I'm going to ask our cement guru here if he knows what it is? @onBalance

Metamax is a cement additive designed to increase the strength of concrete, but it can also be added to pool plaster.
The added cost should be less than $1,000. Diamond Brite is quartz and would cost much more.
I am surprised about the cost being $24k. That is high.
