Quang Ngai (VNA) - The Hoa Phat Dung Quat Steel Joint Stock Companyshipped the first batch of S95 ground granulated blast furnace slag to Australiaon September 10, where stern standards and stringent requirements are applied.
Comprising 2,500 tonnes of S95, the batch was produced at the Hoa Phat Dung QuatIron and Steel Integrated Complex.
The granulated blast furnace slag isa by-product of the iron and steel production process using closed blast furnacetechnology. Due to the extremely rapid cooling with high pressure water, the granulatedblast furnace slag is good for cement and concrete and has been used for a longtime around the world as well as in Vietnam.
S95 fine blast furnace slag products contribute to treating solid waste during HoaPhat’s green steel-making process, while protecting the environment and creatinga stable source of revenue for the group.
The material can be appliedas highly-activated mineral additives in the production of cement, concrete,and mortar, or as a binder to reinforce weak ground. With S95, it is possible tomass produce concrete by reducing hydrothermal heat, producing heat resistant concretedue to increased thermal stability, with durability in seawater, salt water, andbrackish water, due to the increased waterproofing of the concrete, preventing theerosion of chlorine and sulphate and meeting the requirement to increase the lifeof works at sea, on islands, and in coastal areas.
With two iron production complexes in Kinh Mon, Hai Duong province, and Dung Quatin Quang Ngai, the Hoa Phat Group is able to supply the market with 2.6 milliontonnes of S95 each year.
This first export affirms the group’s prestige in the global market, while openingup a new consumption channel for S95.
