Ground, Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag
• Granulated blast furnace slag produced by metallurgy plants in waste material class can be used as an additive in cement production as it has hydraulic binding feature.
• Cement Grinding Plants processing the granulated blast furnace slag which is a product of Iron & Steel Plant in cement production.
• Blast furnace cement, which performs high strength against chemical attacks thanks to its structure, has a low heat of hydration and is known to be more resistant than CEM I Portland cement in the long term, can be used in dams, harbors, treatment plants, irrigation canals, bridges and many other projects and is preferred more and more thanks to its economic quality. Moreover, this product which requires less use of clinker is a type of cement which has minimum impact on the environment in today’s conditions.
GBFS, GGBFS Practical Applications
GGBS is used to make durable concrete structures in combination with ordinary portland cement and/or other pozzolanic materials. GGBS has been widely used in Europe, and increasingly in the United States and in Asia for its superiority in concrete durability, extending the lifespan of buildings from fifty years to a hundred years. It is used for high-performance concrete producing, all marine, and sewage water works, and where massive concrete is poured.
Technical Benefits of Using Slag Powder in Concrete:
• Lower permeability & high resistivity to alkalis attack.
• Low heat of hydration & low internal cracks inside concrete.
• Increase durability.
• Lower concrete expansion & creep.
• Improve the compressive strength either early & late age.
• Lower the water to cement ratio.
• Increase the resistivity against sulphates & alkalis reaction.
Packing
• Packed in jumbo bags each of 1000 – 1500 kg.
• Bulk in silo trucks.
