Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag (GGBFS) powder is a fine white powder used in concrete. Slag is produced in iron and steel manufacturing process as a by-product. Molten slag is extracted from iron ore at elevated temperature (approximately around 1 500ºC) and rapidly water quenched to obtain reactive granular slag particles. The granular blast furnace slag is then dried and milled with optimized quantities of gypsum in Vertical Roller Miller (VRM) to cement fineness.
