Its great to see we are doing are part to clean up the enviroment. One comment and it will probably get more producers to lean this way is Icrete charges a pretty hefty royalty to do mix optimization where companies like BASF and W.R Grace are doing this at no charge for customers. Good luck all….

It is good to hear that fly ash and ground granulated blastfurnace slag is getting some long over due publicity. But unless there is something really special in this system, it does not appear to be a new application, these products have been used in the production of cement and concrete for many years. I certainly do not understand the claims related to GHG emmissions and feel that it is just another 21st Century marketing ploy. Please some one prove me wrong. The production of GGBS and PFA in itself must account for a tremendous amount of GHG. And while companies and others actively trade in Co2 Credits I for one fail to see why the GHG route has to be quoted for the use of these materials. Why cant it be promoted as a sound, sensible, technically advantageous, tried and tested application for the production of concrete. Which it is.
