Product Description

Grounded Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) is a byproduct from the blast furnaces used to make iron. The major use of GGBFS is in ready-mixed concrete. In the production of ready-mixed concrete, GGBFS replaces a substantial portion of the normal Portland cement content, generally about 50%, but sometimes up to 70% or more. The higher the proportion, the better the durability.


GGBFS is also used in other concrete production. Different mixing ratios of products can produce concrete with different characteristics.


As a new admixture for high-performance concrete, GGFBS can replace cement in various kinds of concrete and cement products equally.

Benefits:


  • Enhanced compressive strength

  • Increases abrasion resistance

  • Increases resistance to chloride-induced corrosion

  • Increases resistance to sulphate and acid attack

  • Mitigation of alkali-silica reaction (ASR)

  • Reduced the heat of hydration for mass concrete

  • Significantly enhances long-term durability

  • Lighter color for architectural concrete

  • Reduced water demand for equivalent workability

  • Enables low-carbon, high-performance concrete


Applications:

  • High-Performance Concrete (HPC), Ultra-High- Performance Concrete (UHPC)

  • Mass Concrete (Dams, Large Foundations) and Precast Concrete

  • Shotcrete. Oil Well Cementing and Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC)

  • Marine & Corrosion-Resistant Concrete, 3D Printing Concrete
