CONDUCTIVE CONCRETE: CONDUCRETE®
Water Absorption Conducrete® is a very hygroscopic material. Lab testing shows that Conducrete® will absorb up to 34% of its weight in water. This quality is especially important in arid environments. Conducrete® is constantly hydrating and therefore continuously absorbing any available moisture from the surrounding soil. The result is an electrode that delivers more stable resistance to ground over time even during dry conditions.
Superior Operating Performance (low impedance, lower resistance,
EARTHING
Increased capacitance: the conductive and insulatingmaterials used in the formulation of Conducrete® gives it a capacitive nature. Conducrete® has the ability to store and release energy the same way that a capacitor will store energy until it is earthed/grounded or allowed to release the energy into a circuit. The material quickly absorbs high rise time electrical surges keeping earth/ground potential rise in check and preventing equipment interruption and infrastructure damage.
superior conductivity and capacitance) Low impedance: the ability to provide low impedance is critical to dissipate lightning energy quickly in order to protect assets from damage. Conducrete®’s lowimpedance is due to the lowresistance, high capacitance and low inductance of the unique blend ofmaterials.
Lower resistance and superior conductivity: • Lower resistance results in superior conductivity • Independent lab testing indicates thatConducrete®has a very lowresistivity (3.06 ohm-cm)
• Figure 1 illustrates that Conducrete® has a resistivity of less than half of another leading brand of earth/ground enhancing material and approximately 50 times lower than bentonite clay.
