Welcome to Blink, where you can buy and sell a variety of essential Dry bulk materials. We launch our offer with a wide range of products – and will expand the dry bulk product range further in the months to come to minerals, solid fuels, and more. Here's a brief explanation of each of these materials:
Clinker​
Clinker is a key component in the production of cement. It is a nodular substance produced by sintering limestone and other raw materials at high temperatures. Clinker is ground into a fine powder to produce cement, which is used in various construction applications.
Cement
Cement is a binding agent that is used to hold different materials together in construction projects. It is primarily made from a mixture of clinker and other additives such as gypsum and limestone. Cement is available in various types, including Portland cement, which is the most commonly used type.
Gypsum
Gypsum is a mineral that is commonly used as an additive in the production of cement. It is added to control the setting time of cement and improve its workability. Gypsum also provides strength and durability to the final concrete product.
GBFS Slag
Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GBFS) is a byproduct of the iron and steel industry. It is obtained by quenching molten iron slag from a blast furnace with water or steam, which results in a glassy granular material. GBFS slag is commonly used as a supplementary cementitious material in concrete production, enhancing its strength, durability, and workability.
