Slag Cement Supplier - CEMEX USA
CEMSlagTM is a sustainable and durable, high-performance supplemental cementitious material derived from the recycled byproduct of steel production. It is used in the production of concrete.
Slag Cement Benefits
Ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS)
Our slag cement CEMSlagTM is a hydraulic cement material created when granulated blast-furnace slag from the steel manufacturing process is ground to a fineness suited for concrete production.
Environmentally friendly and reduced greenhouse gas emissions
Using our slag cement CEMSlagTM in concrete provides a more environmentally friendly and sustainable option because it requires less energy to be produced, resulting in less greenhouse gas emissions.
Workability
The smooth, dense surface and slightly finer particle size of CEMSlagTM creates a fluid paste that allows for easier placement and finishing.
Higher 28-day strength
Concrete produced with our slag cement CEMSlagTM often yields higher 28-day compressive and flexural strength than comparable products.
Reduced heat hydration
Concrete produced with CEMSlagTM has lower heat of hydration that reduces thermal cracking, especially important for projects that involve mass concrete structures like dams.
Lower permeability
The reduced permeability and increased resistance to chlorides and other aggressive chemicals increase the product life and limit the amount of liquid absorption.
Appearance
Concrete produced with CEMSlagTM is lighter in color which improves the appearance, enhances the effectiveness of coloring agents and provides solar reflectively.
Sulfate-resistant cement
The product make-up has fewer reactive elements that can protect against alkali-silica reactions (ASR), sulphate attacks and the migration of salt from the surface which can shorten the life-cycle.
LEED Certification
Slag cement can contribute to achieving LEED points to help your project attain this globally-recognized sustainability certification.
Available in California
CEMSlagTM is currently available for immediate use in southern and northern California, with the potential to expand based on the availability of recovered slag. CEMSlagTM is Caltrans approved and meets ASTM C989 Grade 120.
