GGBFS+
Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag+ (GGBFS+)
GGBFS+ offers a sustainable alternative to traditional cement by repurposing GGBFS—a waste product from the iron and steel industry—into high-performance cementitious material as per IS 16714:2018. While conventional standards (IS 455:2015) permit up to 70% GGBFS usage, typical blends are limited to 45-50% due to strength concerns. GGBFS+ overcomes this limitation by enabling an additional 10% loading without compromising strength, significantly reducing overall costs. Being 100% clinker-free and activated through proprietary technology, GGBFS+ not only lowers CO₂ emissions but also supports a circular economy by effectively utilising industrial by-products.
Application
GGBFS+ has a varied set of applications, such as:
Structural Uses
Bridges
Ready-Mix Concrete
Foundations
Hollow core beams and slabs
Dams
Pre-Stressed Concrete
Non-structural Uses
Curbstones
Fencing
Concrete Pipes
Internal Roads
Plastering
Retaining Walls
Sustainable Alternative to Traditional Cement
GGBFS is a waste product of iron and steel industry, which is further ground and repurposed for use in cement, mortar, and concrete (IS 16714:2018).
Why GGBFS+ ?
Norms (IS 455:2015 and IS 16714:2018) allow standard GGBFS loading up to 70%, however, traditionally standard GGBFS loading is done up to 45-50% as above this level strength decreases.
GGBFS+ allows an increase of loading capacity by 10% while maintaining strength and substantially decreasing overall cost.
