INSTALLATION

LORESCO® SC•3®, due to its dust-free manufacture, is simple to install by either mixing and pumping or by pouring dry. With deep anode systems, pumping from the bottom up is recommended. LORESCO® SC•3® has superb pumping qualities due to the addition of surfactants 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•3®, allow twenty-four hours settling time before energizing. The modified surface of the carbon particles coupled with the action of the surfactants in SC•3® will achieve positive electrical contact by settling. Vibrating or compacting is not necessary. See installation section in this catalog for additional pumping data.

MATERIAL DESCRIPTION

LORESCO® SC•3® is a surface modified, blended, and sized carbon backfill with surfactants.

• Predominantly round particles
• All particles surface modified for maximum electrical conductivity and high current applications
• Particle sizing to be dust free with a maximum particle size of 1mm
• Minimum calcination temperature of base materials is 1250° C
• Base materials are calcined under ISO 9002:2000 quality control
• Surfactants are added to assist pumping and settling
• No de-dusting oils are used during the manufacture of base particles
