There Is a reason why slag cement is gaining momentum across the construction industry—and AEGIS Slag Cement is proudly leading the charge in the Caribbean region.
Produced using granulated blast furnace slag, a byproduct of steel manufacturing, slag cement offers a powerful combination of environmental responsibility and performance. It is not just a more sustainable cement option—it is a smarter one, trusted by engineers, architects, and developers who value both strength and sustainability.
Why AEGIS Slag Cement stands out:
1. Environmental Responsibility
Made from an industrial byproduct, slag cement reduces the need for raw material extraction—helping conserve natural resources and reduce the environmental toll of construction.
2. Lower Carbon Footprint
With reduced clinker content—the main contributor to CO₂ emissions—slag cement supports global efforts toward cleaner, more responsible building practices.
3. Exceptional Durability
AEGIS Slag Cement enhances resistance to aggressive chemicals, sulfates, and alkalis, making it an ideal choice for structures exposed to harsh conditions, including marine environments.
4. Superior Strength & Workability
Concrete produced with slag cement benefits from improved compressive and flexural strength, smoother pours, and enhanced finishability—resulting in a high-quality, long-lasting product.
5. Sustainable Waste Utilization
By transforming steel industry byproducts into high-performance cement, we actively contribute to a circular economy and reduce landfill waste.
6. LEED & Sustainability Credits
Recognized by the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED program, slag cement can help projects earn sustainability certifications and meet green building standards.
Real-World Applications of AEGIS Slag Cement
Slag cement is not a niche solution—it’s a proven material with broad, high-impact applications, especially in environments demanding strength, longevity, and environmental stewardship.
Ideal for use in:
• Coastal and marine infrastructure – piers, docks, seawalls
• Roads and bridges – especially in high-traffic or corrosive environments
• Tunnels and foundations – requiring superior chemical resistance
• Industrial floors and warehouses – where durability is critical
• Water treatment and containment facilities – exposed to sulfates and aggressive agents
• Green building projects – where sustainability and LEED points matter
AEGIS Slag Cement delivers dependable performance backed by responsible sourcing.
We do not believe in overpromising—we believe in showing up with products that work, last, and elevate the projects they are part of.
Blast-furnace slag is produced in a blast furnace when iron ore is reduced to iron. By processing blast-furnace slag into slag cement, material is diverted from landfills.
Slag cement reduces energy, carbon emissions, and virgin material requirements in concrete. It also lightens concrete so exposed surfaces reflect more light thereby significantly decreasing the urban heat island effect.
Concrete made with slag cement yields higher compressive and flexural strengths.
