Blast furnace slag is the non-metallic product consisting essentially of silicates and aluminosilicates of calcium and other bases, that is developed in a molten condition simultaneously with iron in a blast furnace.

Air-cooled blast furnace slag is a predominantly crystalline, solid rock-like material whereas granulated blast furnace slag is a glassy, granular product.
