Granulated blast furnace slag
- is formed by intensive, rapid water-cooling
- amorphous
- hard
- light coloured
- glass-like product
- has good water absorption capacity
- does not crystallize – due to rapid quenching intensity
- hydraulic binder property
- bulk density: 1.1 t/m3
- homogeneous: 0-5 mm
For cement production, granulated slag as raw material should not be verified with a conformity certification process – in this case, the cement itself is considered to be a construction industry product.
