Earthing Backfill Materials
Backfill material is placed around an earth electrode to raise the conductivity of the surrounding soil and hold earth resistance low. It retains moisture for extended periods, prevents corrosion of the electrode and stabilises the fault-current path.
Manufactured by Ashima Electrotech in Jaipur under the ACME Safe Earthing brand.

What the numbers mean.
Test reports
Ask us for the current test report for the batch you are buying, and check which standard and laboratory it covers before you specify.
Under 0.12 Ω·m
Electrical resistivity is below 0.12 Ω·m, with a pH of 7–10 so it does not attack the electrode.
Non-corrosive
Sulphur content stays below 2%, which is what keeps the compound from consuming the electrode it protects.
Moisture retention
Water solubility of 30–40% holds moisture against the electrode through dry seasons.
What to send us
Compound quantity follows from the electrode and the pit, and the benefit follows from the soil it is replacing. Send these with the quantity and delivery city and we will quote.
