Advantages to use Portland Slag Cement. Prevention against Chemical Hazards Use of Slag Cement significantly reduces the risk of damages caused by alkali–silica reaction (ASR), provides higher resistance to chloride ingress — reducing the risk of reinforcement corrosion — and provides higher resistance to attacks by soils and water
ContactThe concept of Portland Slag Cement (Blended Cement) emerged as a solution to overcome the issue of low durability in Ordinary Portland Cement. In PSC, Blast Furnace Granulated Slag is used as a conversion agent turning the harmful calcium hydroxide into C-S-H.
ContactThe main advantage of Portland slag cement is the effort of manufacturing this cement is much less than the Ordinary Portland cement because the slag is a waste material. Properties of Portland Slag Cement. The specification of Slag Cement is given in the Indian Standard Code IS Code 455:1989, and it seems to be the colour of blackish grey.
ContactAlthough blast furnace slag cement has many advantages over ordinary portland cement. The physical properties are similar to OPC. But it has a low heat of hydration and it gives better resistance to chlorides, soils, sulfates and alkalies. You know that slag is byproduct formed in blast furnace slag during smelting or refining of ore.
ContactSlag cement is commonly found in ready-mixed concrete, precast concrete, masonry, soil cement and high temperature resistant building products. While there are many applications and benefits of slag cement, a few are highlighted below and detailed information sheets are located here.
ContactThe Portland slag cement is one such cement, which uses blast furnace slag in the production of cement. Hence, during production, the amount of carbon dioxide released in the atmosphere will be reduced. The portland slag cement has many advantages over ordinary portland cement (OPC).
ContactPortland slag cement is the most suitable cement for concrete paths, mass concrete uses, structures and bases, Pre-cast concrete, concrete open to seawater and oceanic use. All compositions produce high ultimate strength, but as slag content is increased, initial strength is reduced, while sulfate resistance upsurges and heat evolution moderates.
ContactPortland Slag Cement, commonly known as PSC, is blended cement. Slag is, essentially, a non-metallic product comprising of more than 90% glass with silicates and alumino-silicates of lime. At JSW Cement, we use superior quality slag produced at our steel manufacturing plant, conforming to IS: 12089 standards for producing PSC. It is created with a combination of upto 45- 50%
