Granulated Blast Furnace Slag is obtained by rapidly chilling (quenching) the molten ash from the furnace with the help of water. During this process, the slag gets fragmented and transformed into amorphous granules (glass), meeting the requirement of IS 12089:1987 (manufacturing specification for granulated slag used in Portland Slag Cement). The granulated slag is ground to desired fineness for producing GGBS. The chemical composition of JSW’s GGBS contributes to the production of superior cement. Over the period of time, its load-bearing properties continue to increase as it absorbs surplus lime released during hydration to form more calcium silicate hydrates. These hydrates add to the strength of the cement.
