Air Cooled Blast Furnace Slag

The Air-cooled Blast Furnace Slag (ACBFS) is obtained after slow cooling and crystallisation. The same is crushed and screened to produce different types of Aggregates, as per the grading requirement of the customers engaged in making Ready mixes for construction purpose. The ACBFS is a crystalline form of slag and has lower glass content resulting in a week cementing characteristics. However it helps lowering the overall cost of Ready-Mix production with giving further better strength to the construction. This also helps reduce al

The air-cooled slag has very weak cementing properties, angular particles shape with surface textures from glassy to fractured when crushed. The air-cooled slag aggregates are comparable with natural aggregates but have slightly lower density and require addition of higher amount of fine particles to the concrete mix due to their angular shape.
