GBFS / GGBFS

Granulated Blast Furnace Slag or GBFS is the residue of combustion in the furnace of the steel refining process. It is obtained by quenching molten iron slag from a blast furnace in water or steam, to produce a glassy substance.

GGBFS or Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag is formed when GBFS is further processed or grounded using conventional cement clinker grinding technology.

Uses and Benefits of GBFS/GGBFS

Uses :

  • GGBFS or GBFS is the most used raw material in cement industry to make slag cement.
  • Lightweight fill
  • Raw material for the manufacture of glass
  • GBFS can be used as a substitute for sand in building materials
  • GGBFS can be used as a replacement for Portland cement

Benefits :

  • Reduced chloride permeability
  • Improved resistance to sulphate attack
  • Reduced heat of hydration in mass concrete
  • Better workability
  • Environmental friendly
  • Improved compressive and flexural strength
  • Reduced alkali-silica reaction
  • Less bleeding
  • Long slump retention
  • Better reflectance
  • Greater durability and thermal resistance
  • Brighter color and reduced electricity
