The construction details of the Chemical Earthing Electrode are as bellow: There is a solid
conductor (highly galvanized), enclosed inside another highly galvanized Chemical Earthing
Electrode. The space in between is filled with anticorrosive & conductive compound. The electrode
composite system which is firmly packed / welded & sealed with sealant & is ready to use. The
basic purpose of the mineral filling compound is to resistance and to create a low resistance zone
surrounding the electrode uniform environment so that the electrode output is constant.
Use of salt & charcoal is eliminated in the method of effective earthling & instead a
specially developed, natural eco friendly material with improved properties is used. This is non
corrosive, has capacity to absorb & retain moisture from the surrounding. Being non soluble in
water, it stays at the place and in not washed out by the rain water/underground water. This mineral
filling compound is highly conductive.
“Maintains low resistance value for a long period having the bare minimum fluctuations.
And wide range of products & sizes to suit any and every earthing requirement”.

BFC, (back fill compound) is a specially developed compound, which is capable of
absorbing and retaining the moistu
moisture for a long time, it reduces the soil resistivity, it helps
in faster dissipation of fault cur
current, least fluctuation of Ohmic value and it eliminates the
use of Salt, Charcoal etc. around
ound the Earthing Electrode. It has low solubility,
solubilit hence is not
easily washed away, and has a low resistivity (approximately 5-10 Ohm-meters in a
saturated solution). It is virtually
tually neutral, having a pH value of between 6.2 and 6.9. Should

onmental difficulties in use. It assists in mainttaining a relatively
low resistivity over a long period of time, in areas where salts in the vicinity are dissolved
away by water movements (rainfall etc.). However, the fact that the material is not
easily dissolved will moderate the benefits achieved, since it will not permeate far into
the ground. This means that the beneficial effect will be localized for say an area
excavated around a buried electrode. This in turn means that the reduction in the
resistance value of the elect
electrode will not be dramatic but will be reasonably
easonably sustainable
Materials, which should not be used as backfill Compound, include sand, co ke-
