It is a high quality, low CO2 material. Because GGBS has low embodied CO2, it allows designing concrete mixes for sustainable construction. The manufacture of GGBS requires less than 20% of the energy and produces less than 10% of the CO2 emissions compared to Portland Cement production. GGBS is a sustainable alternative for Portland Cement in the production of: ready-mix concrete pre-cast concrete cement-based formulations soil stabilisation GGBS helps to form a next-generation cement that reduces damage to the environment. Use and benefits of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag For building projects where durable and sustainable concrete is key, GGBS is the ideal solution. Using this product in your construction process will offer you: Durability; GGBS reduces the likelihood of concrete thermal cracking, and it improves concrete’s resistance to damage from alkali-silica reaction, sulphates and chlorides. Concrete in aggressive environments is much more durable with the use of GGBS as a partial replacement for the cement. Sustainability; produce low CO2 concrete, with low levels of embodied CO2. GGBS is also actively helping to reduce the amount of industry by-product material going to landfill. It helps to make a greener cement by reducing the embodied carbon. Aesthetic finish; a much lighter coloured concrete finish can be achieved compared to Portland Cement-based concrete. GGBS also helps to improve the reflectivity of finished materials (improving safety in dark environments) and contribute towards the reduction of crystalline deposits on concrete surfaces. Cement replacement using GGBS To build an environmentally friendly building, you can use our material as a partial cement replacement in a variety of projects, including: Foundations Concrete frames soil stabilisation work paving precast concrete construction large-scale volumes of mortar Do you want to know if your project is a good fit for GGBS use?
