Slag cement, or ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), has been incorporated into concrete projects in the U.S. for over a century to improve durability and reduce life cycle costs. Among its measurable benefits in concrete are better workability and finishability, higher compressive and flexural strengths, and improved resistance to aggressive chemicals.

Slag cement contributes to sustainable construction practices as it is manufactured from a recycled material.
