– Certain ground conditions make it difficult to obtain a reliable earth resistance, whilst particular installations may require a very low

resistance. In such cases, FurseCEM

®

provides a convenient and permanent solution. By adding FurseCEM

®

in place of sand and

aggregate, to cement, a conductive concrete is formed. This electrically conductive medium has many applications in the electrical/

construction industry, including RF and microwave screening, static control and, of course, earthing, for which it was specifically

developed

.

– When used as a backfill for earth electrodes, FurseCEM

®

impregnated concrete greatly increases the electrode’s surface area thus

lowering its resistance to earth

– Used as an earth-electrode backfill to reduce soil resistivity by retaining moisture. The clay is a sodium activated montmorillonite,

which when mixed with water swells to many times its dry volume. It has the ability to hold its moisture content for a considerable

period of time and to absorb moisture from the surrounding soil (e.g. from rainfall)
