Hoa Phat S95 production increased by 36 per cent in H1

In the first six months of the year, Hoa Phat Group sold 710,000 tonnes of S95 fine grinding blast furnace slag to the market, an increase of 36 per cent over the same period last year, including about 15,000 tonnes from Hoa Phat Dung Steel Integrated Complex exported to Australia.

With supply from two Iron and Steel Integrated Complexes in Kinh Mon – northern province of Hai Duong and Dung Quat – central province of Quang Ngai, partners have increasingly appreciated Hoa Phat's S95 product for its quality and used in many constructions.

Vinhomes Ocean Park 2 project uses 18 per cent of Hoa Phat's S95 in concrete production. The project has four batching plants, with a total capacity of 120,000 cu.m of concrete a month.

The granulated Blast furnace slag is a by-product of iron and steel production process using closed blast furnace technology. Due to the extremely rapid cooling with high pressure water, the granulated blast furnace slag is a kind of mineral active additive very good for cement, concrete and has been used for a long time in the world as well as in Vietnam.

S95 Hoa Phat fine grinding blast furnace slag has many outstanding advantages, applied as highly activated mineral additives for the production of cement, concrete, mortar or as a binder to reinforce weak ground.

With S95, it is possible to produce mass concrete by reducing hydrothermal heat of concrete, producing heat resistant concrete due to increased thermal stability of concrete, durable concrete production in seawater, salt water and brackish water, due to the increased waterproofing of concrete, preventing the erosion of chlorine and sulfate, meeting the need to increase the life of works on the sea, on islands and coastal areas.

This product will help lower the cost of commercial concrete due to lower costs of S95 Hoa Phat, while reducing clinker content in cement, thereby reducing CO2 emissions, contributing to environmental protection.
