Description

• Reduces the environmental footprint of concrete and ensure improved performance and increased durability.
• Concrete containing BFC is less permeable, has lower hydration, is resistant to sulfate-acid attack and aggressive chemicals and has better workability and finishing ability than normal concrete.
• Concrete containing BFC has a higher ultimate strength. It has a higher proportion of the strength-enhancing calcium silicate hydrates (CSH). Concrete made with BFC continues to gain strength over time.
•  There has been significant growth in the production and sale of BFC. The manufacture of BFC requires less energy than that needed for the production of OPC, making it cheaper to produce and a more viable option in a downturn economy.
• Blast Furnace Cement can be used in the most aggressive environments, such as exposure to chlorides and sulphates, meaning it is longer lasting in marine, agricultural and chemically aggressive environments.
