Product Code ABF259

ASMS ABF259 is a 20 x 10 mm concrete aggregate conforming to AS2758.1 - 20 mm graded aggregate.

APPLICATIONS

ABF259 is manufactured as an aggregate for use in concrete

COMPOSITION AND MATERIALS

ABF259 is produced by crushing and screening blast furnace slag to a single size 10mm aggregate consisting of angular to roughly cubical shaped particles with a characteristically vesicular structure and rough surface texture. Aggregates are aged and watered to achieve the target SSD.

Blast furnace slag is the non-metallic product consisting essentially of silicates and aluminosilicates of calcium and other bases developed in a molten condition simultaneously with iron in a blast furnace.

Air-cooled blast furnace slag is a predominantly crystalline, solid rock-like material.

ADVANTAGES

  • Consistent chemistry
  • Excellent load bearing capacity
  • Non-plastic
  • Resistant to heat and fire
  • Vesicular surface improves mechanical interlock
  • Economic alternative to natural aggregates
  • Effective utilisation of an industrial by-product conserving natural resources.
