Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag

GGBFS Technology:
Enhancing Concrete Performance

Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag (GGBFS) is a versatile material derived from the by-product of iron and steel-making processes. Produced by rapidly quenching molten iron slag in water or steam, slag transforms into a glassy, granular substance that is meticulously dried and ground into a fine powder.

The Science Behind Slag Cement

This unique material acts as a latent hydraulic binder, forming crucial calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) upon contact with water. As an integral component of metallurgic cement (CEM III in the European norm EN 197), GGBFS offers several distinct advantages in concrete applications.

Slag Cement is Reliable

One of its primary benefits lies in its ability to enhance the strength and durability of concrete structures. By facilitating the formation of CSH compounds, GGBFS significantly improves the overall performance and longevity of concrete.

Our slag cement boasts a remarkable characteristic: its gradual release of hydration heat. This property proves invaluable in scenarios where temperature control is crucial, such as during the casting of concrete in hot summer conditions or in the setting and curing of massive concrete components and structures.

Our Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag stands as a reliable and indispensable solution for better concrete performance, by offering superior strength, durability, and temperature control benefits for a wide range of construction projects and foundation building materials.

Versatile Applications

GGBFS finds major uses in producing quality-improved slag cement, including Portland Blast-furnace cement (PBFC) and high-slag blast-furnace cement (HSBFC), with GGBFS content typically ranging from 30% to 70%. Additionally, it’s extensively employed in ready-mixed or site-batched durable concrete production.

Enhanced Concrete Durability

GGBFS is utilized alongside ordinary Portland cement and/or other pozzolanic materials to create concrete structures renowned for their durability.

Global Acceptance

Widely embraced in Europe, the United States, and Asia (notably Japan and Singapore) for its superior concrete durability, extending building lifespans from 50 to 100 years.

Mitigated Risks

GGBFS employment significantly diminishes the risk of damages attributed to alkali–silica reaction (ASR), enhances resistance to chloride ingress (thus minimizing reinforcement corrosion risks), and bolsters resistance against sulfate and other chemical attacks.

Low Carbon Cement

Slag cement offers a greener alternative to traditional Portland cement as It has a lower carbon footprint, requires less energy to produce, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Making sustainable construction materials possible that supports environmental goals and reduces waste.

Smoother Surface Finish

Slag cement typically provides a smoother and more consistent finish compared to traditional Portland cement. Due to its finer particles and ability to produce a denser concrete matrix fills in gaps between larger aggregate particles more effectively. Resulting in a smoother surface when the concrete is cured.

Eco-Friendly Innovation: GGBFS Pioneers Sustainable

Construction in Slag Cement

Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag (GGBFS) plays a pivotal role in sustainable construction materials and practices. As a by-product of the steel manufacturing process, its integration into concrete not only promotes eco-friendliness but also aligns with global sustainability standards.

The use of slag cement in concrete projects holds prestigious certifications such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and Building Environmental Assessment Method (BEAM Plus). By incorporating GGBFS into concrete mixes, projects can enhance their sustainability profiles, earning valuable points towards LEED and BEAM Plus certifications.

Furthermore, the durability of slag cement offers versatility beyond traditional Portland cement. It can be effectively utilized not only in concrete exposed to chlorides and sulfates but also in superstructure constructions, provided the slower setting time aligns with project requirements.

At the forefront of eco-friendly innovation, GGBFS empowers construction projects to achieve low carbon footprint and sustainability goals while ensuring durability and performance.
