Premium Earthing Compound | High-Performance Ground Enhancement Material

Dramatically Reduce Soil Resistivity & Ensure Superior, Long-Lasting Earthing System Performance

Our advanced Earthing Compound is a cutting-edge ground enhancement material engineered to provide a low-resistance earthing path, even in areas with high soil resistivity. Designed for critical grounding applications, it ensures optimal safety, prolongs equipment life, and enhances the reliability of your electrical systems.

Why is Effective Earthing Crucial?

Inadequate earthing can lead to:

• Safety Hazards: Risk of electric shock to personnel.
• Equipment Damage: Malfunctions, downtime, and premature failure of sensitive electronics due to surges and transient voltages.
• System Instability: Poor power quality, increased noise, and unreliable operation.
• Non-Compliance: Failure to meet regulatory and safety standards.

Our Earthing Compound provides the ultimate solution by creating a consistently low-resistance ground, making your earthing system robust and dependable.

Key Features & Advantages

• Ultra-Low Resistivity: Dramatically reduces the earth resistance, allowing for rapid and effective dissipation of fault currents and lightning energy. Typically achieves a resistivity of less than 0.1 Ω-m when mixed.
• Non-Corrosive & Non-Abrasive: Chemically inert and designed not to corrode earthing electrodes (copper, galvanized steel) or surrounding soil, ensuring the longevity of your grounding system.
• Hygroscopic Properties: Absorbs and retains moisture from the surrounding soil, maintaining a stable, low-resistance connection even in dry weather conditions where traditional systems often fail.
• Permanent & Stable: Forms a permanent, self-regenerating conductive layer around the electrode. It does not dissolve, decompose, or leach away over time, eliminating the need for periodic re-application.
• Environmentally Friendly: Non-toxic, lead-free, non-polluting, and biodegradable. Safe for use in all types of soil and groundwater environments.
• Easy to Install: Supplied in a convenient granular or powder form, easily mixed with water to create a slurry that can be poured around the earthing electrode, simplifying installation procedures.
• Wide Temperature Stability: Maintains its electrical and physical properties across a broad range of temperatures, from sub-zero to extreme heat.
• High Conductive: Enhances the conductivity of the surrounding soil, making it an ideal backfill material for improving ground electrode performance.
• Reduces Number of Electrodes: Can significantly reduce the number of ground rods or size of the grounding grid required to achieve desired resistance levels, saving on material and installation costs.

Installation Guide (General)

1. Excavation: Dig a trench or bore a hole around the earthing electrode according to design specifications.
2. Mixing: Mix the Earthing Compound with clean water to form a uniform, workable slurry (consistency similar to thick paint).
3. Application: Pour the slurry evenly around the earthing electrode, ensuring full contact and coverage.
4. Backfill: Once the compound has settled and begins to solidify (refer to specific product instructions), backfill the remaining trench/hole with excavated soil.
5. Moisture: Ensure the compound and surrounding soil remain adequately moist during and after installation for optimal performance activation.

(Always refer to the specific product datasheet and local electrical codes for detailed installation instructions and safety guidelines.)

Packaging & Storage

• Available in 10kg, 12.5kg, 20kg, and 25kg moisture-resistant bags.
• Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep bags sealed until use.
