What is GGBS?

Slag, refined into strength.

Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag is a by-product of iron manufacturing. Molten slag is rapidly quenched into glassy granules, then finely ground into a powder with powerful latent hydraulic properties.

Blended with Portland cement, GGBS reacts slowly and steadily to produce denser, less permeable concrete that outperforms ordinary cement in long-term strength, chemical resistance, and durability.

At Mitija Ecobuild, every batch is manufactured to exceed IS 16714:2018 — ensuring consistent fineness, reactivity, and performance.

01
Blast Furnace
Molten slag is collected as a by-product of iron production at ~1500°C.
02
Rapid Quenching
High-pressure water quenches the slag into glassy, reactive granules.
03
Precision Grinding
Granules are milled to ≥400 m²/kg fineness for optimal reactivity.
04
Premium GGBS
Quality-tested powder, ready to blend into high-performance concrete.
Molten slag tapped at ~1500°C, then rapidly quenched — the first step in producing premium GGBS.
Technical Properties

Performance, measured.

Every specification meets or exceeds IS 16714:2018 — India's standard for GGBS used with Portland cement.

400+
Blaine Fineness (m²/kg)
High surface area ensures better particle packing and faster reactivity with OPC.
95%
Glass Content
High glassy phase drives superior latent hydraulic reactivity and strength.
70%
Activity Index (7 days)
Meets IS 16714 Class S, delivering reliable early-age strength contribution.
1.0%
Max Chloride Content
Low chloride makes it ideal for marine structures and reinforced concrete.
<2.5%
SO₃ Content
Sulfate within limits, ensuring resistance in aggressive soil and groundwater.
28d+
Sustained Strength Gain

Where We Perform

Built for every structure.

🏗️
High-Rise
Reduced heat of hydration minimises thermal cracking in mass pours and raft foundations.
🌊
Marine & Coastal
Superior chloride and sulfate resistance for ports, jetties, and seawalls.
🛣️
Infrastructure
Bridges, flyovers, metros, and highways gain durability and lower lifecycle cost.
🏭
Industrial Floors
Dense microstructure resists abrasion, chemical spills, and heavy loading.
🏠
Residential
Ready-mix producers deliver superior concrete at competitive cost.
💧
Water Structures
Low permeability protects dams, reservoirs, and treatment plants.
⚡
Power Plants
Mass concrete with controlled heat generation — the benchmark solution.
🌿
Green Buildings
Contributes to GRIHA and LEED credits by cutting embodied carbon.
Environmental Impact

The responsible choice.

Cement production contributes nearly 8% of global CO₂ emissions. GGBS — a by-product of steelmaking — transforms industrial waste into a high-value material, dramatically reducing the carbon footprint of every pour.

Extended Life
♻️
Circular economy material — repurposes slag that would otherwise go to landfill.
🌡️
Reduced heat of hydration — less thermal stress and early-age cracking risk.
🏅
GRIHA & LEED credits — supports green building certification frameworks.
🔬
Longer-lasting structures — less repair and replacement over the lifecycle.
💧
Lower water demand — same workability at a lower water-cement ratio.
