Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- GGBFS
- GGBS
Ground granulated blast-furnace slag supplier in Malaysia for ready-mixed concrete, precast and blended cement buyers. Also traded as GGBFS or GGBS, this is the glassy granulated slag from iron blast-furnace production, dried and ground to a fine cementitious powder.
The material is traded by strength activity class, with S95 and S105 the common reference grades, alongside fineness, moisture and loss-on-ignition controls. In concrete it works as a partial replacement for Portland cement, lowering heat of hydration and supporting long-term strength and durability where the mix design sets the replacement level.
Beyond ready-mix work, the powder feeds cement grinding and blending plants producing slag cement and composite hydraulic binders, and it appears in slag-based cementing blends for oil and gas wells. State the activity class, fineness requirement and end use so the quoted material matches the application.
Send the required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S95 grade GGBFS | fine off-white to grey powder | S95 strength activity index class | Partial cement replacement in ready-mixed concrete, precast elements and general construction work at replacement levels set by the mix design. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| S105 grade GGBFS | fine off-white to grey powder | S105 strength activity index class | Higher-activity concrete blends and applications where the mix design calls for a stronger early and ultimate strength contribution from the slag. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Bulk GGBFS for grinding and blending plants | fine dry powder received in bulk | — | Feed material for cement grinding and blending plants producing slag cement and composite hydraulic binders to the required activity class. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep ground granulated blast-furnace slag dry in closed silos, containers or sealed bags away from moisture, since the powder takes up water and loses reactivity when damp. Follow the handling information issued for the quoted source.
Common questions about ground granulated blast-furnace slag
What is ground granulated blast-furnace slag used for?
It is used as a partial cement replacement in concrete and as the cementitious component of blended cements. In the mix it lowers heat of hydration and supports long-term strength and durability where the mix design defines the replacement level.
What is the difference between GGBFS and slag cement?
GGBFS is the ground granulated slag material itself, while slag cement is the blended cement product made by intergrinding or blending it with Portland cement clinker. Trade usage overlaps, so state which form the specification requires.
Which activity grade should I request?
S95 and S105 refer to strength activity index classes measured against reference cement. Choose the class from the performance requirement in the mix design and send the specification already in use with the enquiry.
How is GGBFS packed for delivery?
State the required quantity, receiving and unloading arrangement, moisture protection and site handling constraints. Available packing and delivery details are confirmed for the quoted GGBFS grade and destination.
What specification details should be included in the enquiry?
Include the activity class, Blaine fineness, moisture and loss-on-ignition limits, quantity and delivery location, together with any documentation the goods receipt requires.
