SLAG AGGREGATES are Technically Advance Products
Typical Chemical Composition

High Skid Resistance Component Composition

 Maintains the rough surface texture with use, therefore maintains a high Calcium (CaO) 42.0%
level of skid resistance throughout its lifetime (PSV – 63) Iron (FeO) 17.7%

Better Durability Silica (SiO2) 17.2%

 Retains its strength even after years of road use. Magnesium (MgO) 7.2%
Aluminium (Al2O3) 7.1%
Improved Binding
Manganese (MnO) 4.3%
 Strong affinity to Bitumen limits water damage and stripping, increasing Phosphorous (P2O5) < 1%
the road life Sulphur (SO3) < 1%

Resists Deformation Potassium (K2O) < 1%

 Natural Shape and interlocking properties improves resistance to Sodium (Na2O) < 1%

permanent deformation Chromium (Cr2O3) < 1%
