BACKFILL COMPOUND ( BFC )

Backfill Compound, often abbreviated as BFC, is a specialized material used in earthing systems to enhance conductivity and improve moisture retention around grounding electrodes. It fills the space surrounding the earthing rod, creating a low-resistance pathway that optimizes the performance of grounding systems. BFC is particularly effective in areas with high soil resistivity, helping maintain stable and consistent ground resistance levels even in dry conditions.

Benefits:

• Increases soil conductivity for reliable grounding
• Enhances moisture retention for consistent performance
• Reduces electrode corrosion and maintenance needs
• Ensures low resistance in high-resistivity soil areas
• Provides long-term stability for earthing systems
