About GGBS

Our portfolio of innovative, high-quality products includes Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS), a cement addition providing an optimal mix of environmental benefits and performance.

A by-product of the iron industry, GGBS is made when blast furnace slag is finely ground into a powder. It possesses hydraulic properties, which means it can partially replace Portland cement in concrete mixtures. In fact, GGBS can replace 70% or more of Portland cement.
Features & Benefits
  • Enhanced Durability: Structures made with GGBS concrete have increased durability and a longer lifespan due to its chemical and physical properties.
  • Improved Workability: The fine particles of GGBS can improve the workability of concrete, making it easier to mix, place, and finish.
  • Sustainability: Utilizing GGBS in concrete production reduces the carbon footprint of construction activities and promotes sustainable building practices.
  • Economic Advantage: It can be cost-effective, often priced lower than traditional cement, and reduces the overall cost of construction projects.
  • Versatility: GGBS can be used in a variety of concrete applications, including high-performance concrete, precast products, and for soil stabilization.
