AGGBS is used a concrete within the construction and mining industry.
The key benefits of AGGBS are:
- It develops higher compressive and flexural strengths than ordinary concrete.
- It makes denser and more durable concrete.
- It has superior chemical resistance, e.g. to sulphates and chloride attack and thus is vital in applications like chemical plants and marine structures.
- It lowers hydration temperatures, reducing inner stresses and cracking in massive concrete structures.
- It improves the workability/placeability of a mix, making it flow better and ensuring a greater impermeability and density.
- Concrete made with AGGBS is more economical.
- Reduction of pump-line pressures.
- Quicker mixing per batch.
- Reduced production times.
- Removal of toxic pollutants.
- Removal of chemical burns.
