Merit
Merit is a latent hydraulic binder used as a replacement for cement in concrete, mortar, or grout. It is classified as a mineral admixture type II in concrete production and is certified according to SS-EN 15167-1. Merit is also suitable for mass stabilization, especially in the presence of heavy metals in the soil or sludge, or other hazardous chemicals.
Merit is produced from granulated blast furnace slag, a by-product of the iron manufacturing process. The molten slag is rapidly quenched in water to create reactive granular slag particles with a specific glass content.
