Slag dust building blocks are eco-friendly construction materials made from waste byproducts, specifically from steel production. The primary component is slag dust, a fine powder produced during the smelting process of iron ore. The dust is combined with binding agents like cement or lime, often along with other additives like sand or fly ash, to form blocks. These blocks are known for their durability, heat resistance, and sustainability.They serve as a sustainable alternative to the traditional sand which is at a risk of over-exploitation
They offer several benefits–:
Eco-friendly: Utilizes industrial waste, reducing the need for natural raw materials.
Thermal insulation: Provides good thermal performance due to its density.
Durability: High resistance to weathering, fire, and chemical exposure.
Cost-effective: Slag is an inexpensive byproduct, making these blocks more affordable.
They can be uses as a replacement of sand in construction for walls, pavements, and other structural components.
