GGBS
Introduction of GGBS
Durable | Sustainable |Environment-Friendly
GGBS slag is by product of iron and steel manufacturing process. Ground-granulated blast furnace slag is highly cementitious and high in calcium silicate hydrates (CSH) which is a strength enhancing compound which improves the strength, durability and appearance of the concrete. Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) can replace over 50% of the cement content in a concrete mix. It is gaining popularity as a sustainable alternative; and is commonly used in the production of ready-mix concrete, pre-cast concrete & cement-based formulations.
It is an ideal solution for building projects where durable & sustainable concrete is the key. GGBS quality we supply minimizes concrete thermal cracking. Such concrete offers higher resistance against damage caused due to alkali-silica reaction, sulphates and chlorides. Concrete with GGBS has proved to be more durable in aggressive environments.

Health and Safety Information
Cenosphere series is an inert material similar to talc, etc. The material may be prone to dusting in use. During processing or otherwise generating dust may create a respiratory hazard. In high dust areas the use of goggles and approved dust respirator is recommended. A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) will be supplied on request.
