Loresco SC-2 is produced specifically for cathodic protection applications using an exclusive multi-step process. First, a high quality base carbon with desired characteristics is selected. Next, this carbon is calcined to a minimum temperature of 1250° C under exacting and controlled standards. This step results in semi-graphitized carbon particles with excellent conductivity. Then, to further improve bulk conductivity, the surfaces of the individual particles are half-modified to enhance the contact conductance. This breakthrough in surface alteration ensures maximum electronic current transfer with positive anode contact. The surface alteration on the particle surfaces is not easily removed and stands up to the vigorous application methods in all field requirements.

Loresco SC-2 has a bulk density of 74 lbs. per cubic foot. The fixed carbon content is greater than 99.35% by weight. The bulk density and high fixed carbon content coupled with the assured low resistivity medium allows for longer groundbed life at a lower operating cost.

Loresco SC-2 is designed to be used in impressed current cathodic protection systems, deep or shallow. Specify Loresco SC-2 Super-Conducting Premium Earth Contact Backfill. For high current installations, Loresco SC-3 is recommended.

Installation:
Loresco SC-2 has excellent pumping qualities and when agitated in water, takes on the characteristics of heavy mud. A recommended mix is seven gallons of water per one hundred pounds. After installing SC-2, allow twenty-four hours settling time before energizing. The modified surface of the carbon particles in SC-2 will achieve positive electrical contact by settling. Vibrating or compacting is not necessary.

Material Description:
Loresco SC-2 is a surface modified, blended, and sized carbon backfill.
