Slag products applications
Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GBS)
Granulated Blast Furnace Slag can be used in its raw/unprocessed form as a slow setting binder in hydraulically bound road construction materials. It generally requires an alkali activator such as hydrated lime or steel slag to be added to the product for this purpose.
Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS)
Granulated blastfurnace slag is highly cementitious and after drying and grinding to a fine powder, it can be used as a replacement for conventional cement. The first commercially available Blastfurnace cement (a blend of Portland cement and GGBS) was produced in Germany in 1865 and currently over 200 million tonnes/annum of Blastfurnace slag cement are used worldwide.
