Product Code GBF007
ASMS GBF007 Civil Grade Granulate is a coarse sand-like material with a porous, amorphous structure ranging from white to golden
brown in colour.
APPLICATIONS
GBF007 is suitable for use in a range of manufacturing and civil applications including:
COMPOSITION AND MATERIALS
GBF007 is a glassy, granular material produced by granulating blast furnace slag.
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.
Molten slag is passed through high volume water sprays which break the slag stream into small droplets which are rapidly quenched, suppressing crystallisation and resulting in a material with a porous, amorphous structure.
