Anode Backfill

CCE is an approved distributor of the Loresco Carbon Backfill range, including SC-3 Super-Conducting Premium Earth Contact Backfill. Loresco SC-3 is designed specifically for demanding anode systems which mandate a low resistivity medium.

Correct anode backfill is important because it prevents direct soil contact to reduce localised corrosion of the anode, prevents passivation of the anode caused by reactions with soil salts, provides a low resistivity environment around the anode, and expands when wet to fill the hole and eliminate air voids. This will extend the useful life of anodes. The type of backfill you need will depend on the cathodic protection system that you intend to use it with.
