GGBFS Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) The ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) is a by-product of iron manufacturing which when added to concrete improves its properties such as workability, strength and durability. This material is obtained by the heating of iron ore, limestone and coke at a temperature about 1500 degree Celsius. The process is carried out in a blast furnace. The formation of GGBFS is not direct. The by-product of iron manufacturing is a molten slag and molten iron. The molten slag consists of alumina and silica, also with the certain amount of oxides. This slag is later granulated by cooling it. For this, it is allowed to pass through a high-pressure water jet. This result in quenching of the particles which results in granules of size lesser than 5mm in diameter. The main constituents of blast furnace slag are CaO, SiO2, Al2O3 and MgO. These are the minerals that are found in most of the cementitious substances. The particles are further dried and ground in a rotating ball mill to form a fine powder, known as ground granulated blast furnace slag cement. Now different methods can be employed to perform the main process called as the quenching. Applications & Benefits of GGBFS: In concrete: The incorporation of ground granulated blast furnace slag in concrete manufacture gains many advantages which are mentioned below: GGBFS in concrete increases the strength and durability of the concrete structure. It reduces voids in concrete hence reducing permeability GGBFS gives a workable mix. It possesses good pumpable and compaction characteristics The structure made of GGBFS constituents help in increasing sulphate attack resistance. The penetration of chloride can be decreased. The heat of hydration is less compared to conventional mix hydration. The alkali-silica reaction is resisted highly. These make the concrete more chemically stable. Gives good surface finish and improves aesthetics. The color is more even and light. Lower chances of efflorescence. The maintenance and repair cost of structures are reduced thus increasing the life cycle of concrete structures. Unlike cement, GGBFS does not produce carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide or nitrogen oxides. White Cement: White Portland Cement is of high quality, whiteness and strength, it essentially has the same properties and characteristics as gray cement, except for color. It is widely used in numerous applications such as precast concrete, cast-in-place concrete, terrazzo, median barriers, curbs, tile grout, paint, masonry units, swimming pools, glass fibre reinforced surface bonding mortars.

Micro Silica Sand: Micro silica also known as fume, is an amorphous (non-crystalline) polymorph of silicon dioxide, silica. It is an ultrafine powder collected as a by-product of the silicon and ferrosilicon alloy production and consists of spherical particles with an average particle diameter of 150 mm. The main field of application is as pozzolanic for high performance concrete because of its extreme fineness and high silica. Applications : Silica is added to Portland cement concrete to improve its properties, in particular its compressive strength, bond strength, and abrasion resistance. These improvements stem from both the mechanical improvements resulting from addition of a very fine powder to the cement paste mix as well as from the pozzolanic reactions between the silica fume and free calcium hydroxide in the paste. Advantages : Addition of silica also reduces the permeability of concrete to chloride ions, which protects the reinforcing steel of concrete from corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments such as coastal regions and those of humid continental roadways and runways (because of the use of deicing salts) and saltwater bridges.

Features Of Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GBFS) Granulated Blast Furnace Slag or GBFS is formed when Blast Furnace Slag or BFS is successively at a fast rate quenched from the furnace rather than left for cooling. It has a density of about 60% to 70% that of natural sand. This material has a much increased resistance to sulfate attack. This eventually leads to better performance in countering acids of any type. In GBFS, no type of reaction related to alkali and silica occurs. Also the material provides a huge saving in connection to carbon dioxide emission which is an extra boon. What constitutes GBFS are its properties that consist of durability, appearance, higher ultimate strength than concrete which is made up of Portland cement and high sustainability level of the product made out of this material.

Features Of Micro Silica (Silica Fume) Micro Silica also known as Silica fume. It is a by product of producing silicon metal or ferrosilicon alloys in smelter using electric arc furnaces. It is a grey coloured powder, pozzolanic in nature. Applications Concrete Industry Refractory Rubber Industry Anti caking agent Pellet Binder

This Cast Iron slag is a by-product derived from the production of thermal insulating products. The byproduct is a ferrous slag which can be utilised in an electric arc furnace to produce crude steel. Physical Description On visual inspection, it appears to be made up of irregular shapes. Dimension: 500mm -800mm Chemical Composition Its chemical composition is homogeneous and stable with Fe contents in the range of 90 +/- 5% and P contents < 0.6% S around 0.15% and C% around 3.5%. Packing: Loose in container Loading: in 20 Container For further information, please feel free to contact us.

We are glad to propose 500 MT of stain less steel mill scale. Mill scale is formed on the outer surfaces during by the hot rolling lamination of stainless-steel products. At a visual inspection the material is a hard brittle sand and is mainly composed of iron oxides, mostly ferric, and is bluish black in colour, but it also contains considerable alloying elements such as chromium and nickel. The recovery ratio after melting in furnace for the most valuable alloy elements is: - Ni: 3.5 - 4.5% - Cr: 6-8% From the chemical and physical analysis performed on the scrap, and according to the European environmental rules, the material has been classified as a special non dangerous waste, listed in green list. In particular the mill scale can be classified as follows: Waste code: 10 02 10 The material is stored on cemented flooring, and it can be loaded loose in tipper trucks or containers. Chemical analysis of the material is available on request.
