Blast-Furnace Slag

GGBFS is a by-product of iron manufacturing. In order to use it in combination with Portland cement it shall be produced in accordance to BS EN 15167-1:2006. To produce superior and longer lasting concrete; a replacement rate of up to 70% is permitted. GGBFS is a high-performing option in comparison to traditional cement due to its increase in technical performance upon application, improvement in appearance and its conscious environmental impact.

GGBF is preferred for its technical, environmental and aesthetic qualities by engineers, architects and stakeholders. Using GGBFS in concrete can extend the lifespan, prevent cracking and lower the embodied energy of a project. It yields a much stronger and more durable finished concrete that is capable of withstanding the most aggressive environments, such as exposure to chlorides and sulphites, without increasing the cement content which is economical and cost-effective.

Iron Slag is an industrial by-product that is up-cycled into a commodity product. It is formed by rapidly quenching molten blast furnace slag with water upon exiting the iron processing system. GGBFS is produced by drying and grinding the GGBFS at our milling plant in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.
