Slagstar consists of granulated blast-furnace slag, sulfate agents and special additives. The production of this completely new type of blast-furnace slag binder does not involve any burning process and therefore ensures a CO2 saving of up to 90 percent when compared with conventional cements.
Slagstar is the first binder for concrete that meets all the ecological requirements for the strict criteria of the IBO (the Austrian Institute for Building Biology and Ecology) and has therefore been awarded the IBO Seal of Approval. Environmentally friendly concrete can be produced for the first time with Slagstar.
Slagstar is EU tested ¨C it has European Technical Approval (ETA). The CE designation based on EN 1971-1 confirms compliance with the ETA. The ¨¹A installation designation certifies its compliance with the provisions of the A building materials list concerning the specific use as a binder in conformity with NORM (Austrian standard) B 3327-1. Slagstar can be used in the same way as cement for producing concrete.
