Use of GGBS significantly reduces the risk of damages caused by alkali–silica reaction (ASR), provides higher resistance to chloride ingress — reducing the risk of reinforcement corrosion .

Benefits and Uses of Silica

It is used to produce glass and silica beads for applications in chromatography. The chemical also has applications in structural materials and as electrical insulators in microelectronics. 

Sodium Naphthalene Sulfonate Formaldehyde Condensate (SNF) is widely used as a superplasticizer in construction, particularly for producing free-flowing concrete.

Silicon metal is a grey and lustrous semi-conductive metal that is used to manufacture steel, solar cells, and microchips. 

Ferrosilicon is widely used in Steelmaking, Cast Iron Production, Pre-alloy Manufacturing, Diamond Extraction and chemical industry.

SODIUM GLUCONATE

Sodium gluconate is widely used in textile dyeing, printing and metal surface water treatment. It is also used as a chelating agent, a steel surface cleaning agent, a cleaning agent for glass bottles.
