When soils and ground conditions are highly acidic or alkaline or suspected of being so, earthing compunds or materials such as Bentonite Earthing Powder will reduce the negative affect on the sensitive parts of the valuable equipments machinery, capital goods which may leads to the damage and loss of lives.
Features
• Performs more effectively in all types of soils.
• Maintains constant resistence for its lifetime.
• Long shelf life without deterioration.
• Eco-friendly, does not pollute or contaminate the water table or ground conditions.
Benefits of bentonite powder
1. The bentonite powder is known to be a non-corrosive electrolyte it does not decay the pipe
and the conductor used for earthing. Thus it develops consistent ohmic values.
2. There is no chance of converting bentonite powder in to ash when much heat is liberated
(helps in dissipation of fault current/ heat in a faster manner).
3. Bentonite is a non-hygroscopic substance it swells to several times to its original volume
when suspend in water and remains in contact with the electrode &virtually increases the
electrode surface area.
4. Even during the hot summers though the upper layer is dried up the bottom layers of
bentonite suspension retains the moist there by electrode surface area remains stable.
5. During rainy season the bentonite powder remains stable and moist. (There by reduces soil
resistivity increases the electric conductivity of the earthing pit).
