Blast furnace slag cement(SC) is produced by blending Portland Cement and granulated blast furnace slag. It has remarkable long-term strength and superior concrete crack prevention thanks to low hydration heat. In addition, the product shows excellent watertightness, seawater and acid resistance. By recycling blast furnace slag, which is by-product of steel industry, it contributes to environmental conservation.
Mainly used for mass and marine concrete such as dams, bridges, and harbors, water supply and drainage facilities, tunnels, retaining walls, road pavement
