Back Fill Compound (B.F.C)

"Ashlok" earthing system comes with a compound named Back Fill Compound (B.F.C) when has all the qualities of the ideal backfill material for an earthing system. It is easily compacted and when water is added to it, it will absorb up to thirteen times its dry volume. This consistently holds its own shape and adheres to any surface it touches. These capabilities resolve the issues of compatibility and soil / rod contact that are crucial to an earthing system. BFC absorbs whatever moisture is present and maintains within itself, in contrary to surface appearances.


Benefits of Back Fill Compound (B.F.C)

Maintains moisture within the sphere of influence of electrode. The B.F.C. will cause the low soil resistivity around the electrode., which results in a significantly lower earth resistance, that could not otherwise be obtained using a conventional earth electrode installation.

Provides cathodic protection for the electrode

Enhances the surrounding soil conductivity thereby making it more effective for high fault, noise, ripples, harmonics, neutral to earth unbalance and lightning current dissipation.

The enhancement backfill material has special application with non-toxic enhancers to further improve its durability and performance.
