Activated ground granulated blastfurnace slag ,(AGGBS) is a chemical enriched cementitious material that is a low carbon alternative with a 90% reduction in carbon footprint compared to standard Portland cement.
AGGBS is a factory blend of ground granulated blast-furnaces lag with chemical add mixtures to promote flow and finishability.
Typical Uses :
AGGBS is used for 60 to 95% replacement of portland cement with significant benefits:
- Long term strength development.
- Excellent chloride and sulphate
- Lower pH than portland cement.
- Lower heat of
Special Features :
AAGBS used inconstituted mix designs exhibit:
- Exceptional resistance to chemical attack from sulphate in ground
- Exceptional low carbon
- Resistance to oil and grease
Limitations :
AGGBS is not suitable for 100% replacement of portland cement without further adaption with chemical additives.
Request ARC Innovations personnel for assistance if replacement of Portland cement requirementis75–100%.
