European – Ahead of the World in Sustainability When it comes to sustainable construction practices, Europe consistently leads the charge, embracing innovative solutions to reduce environmental impact. One of the biggest solutions is the use of slag, Ground Granulated[…]

What is Greening in Concrete During Curing? When using slag cement in concrete, a temporary surface discoloration known as “greening” mayoccur. This phenomenon appears as mottled green or blue-green areas on the concrete surfacewithin the first few days after[…]

Slag cement plays a crucial role in extending the life of concrete structures while reducing overalllife cycle costs. Its use in concrete offers a range of benefits that enhance durability andperformance, including: These physical and chemical enhancements significantly extend[…]

Slag, specifically Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS), is a byproduct of the steel-making process. Here’s a simplified explanation: Are There Limitations on Metals Used to Make GGBFS? Is Making Slag Harmful to the Environment? The production of slag[…]

Slag cement significantly reduces the permeability of concrete by increasing the formation of calcium-silicate hydrate (C-S-H), the compound responsible for providing strength and cohesion in the cement paste. Typically, when portland cement hydrates, it forms both C-S-H and calcium[…]

Reducing Carbon Footprint with Slag in Concrete Concrete is the backbone of modern construction in the United States and throughout the world for that matter, but its environmental impact cannot be ignored. Cement, a key ingredient in concrete, is[…]

In the construction industry, the quest for stronger, longer-lasting structures has led to innovative approaches in concrete composition. One advancement is the incorporation of slag, a byproduct of iron and steel production, as an additive in concrete. We explain[…]
