Marconite® is a granulated conductive medium designed to replace the conventional aggregate in concrete and thereby provide a permanent medium with good electrical conductivity and high strength.
It can provide a permanent solution to problems in electrical/ constructional situations.
Marconite® concrete is touch dry within hours, but it will be several days before it is fully cured.
Marconite® is chemically inert with very low soluble sulphate content. It can be used with all conventional types of cement, as well as most
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Marconite® is a dark grey, granular material that replaces traditional sand and aggregate materials used within concrete mixes. Marconite® is designed, developed and manufactured specifically for use in electrical earthing.
This results in a highly reliable earthing solution with the following unique benefits :
- Low resistivity : 0.001Ωm is extremely low when compared to Bentonite’s 3Ωm.
- Versatile : suitable for most ground conditions and becomes a permanent, solid structure that it is not prone to shrinking, drying out or being washed away.
- Cost effective : it is a permanent solution; there is no need to remove and replace or ‘maintain’ it with additional water / salts every few years in order to achieve the desired earth values.
- Chemically inert : is non-corrosive to steel or copper, does not attack cement structures and has a pH within the neutral range.
- High strength : can be used as part of the building structure itself and can achieve strengths higher than Grade 25 concrete.
- Easy to use : forms a concrete like material that from first pour, achieves a low resistance earth, no need to wait or return to test.
