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.
