Where, and why, should Portland slag cement be used

Portland Slag Cement (PSC) is made by of Clinker, Gypsum and Granulated Blast Furnace Slag. It works synergistically with portland cement to increase strength, reduce permeability, improve resistance to chemical attack and inhibit rebar corrosion. Due to its much lower lime content and lower permeability, slag is effective in preventing efflorescence when used at appropriate levels. From an environmental viewpoint, the use of slag cement in concrete serves to make concrete “greener.” Here are the applications of Portland slag cement: Underground concrete Water storing structures Residential Construction Commercial Infrastructure Roads and Highways Industrial Plants
