Earthing Grade Bentonite Powder
Earthing Grade Bentonite Powder
BentoEarth Grade is a selectively mined high montmorillonite Sodium Bentonite produced under controlled conditions. Specially developed for effective grounding.
BentoEarth typically has a 3 ohms resistivity level and is a cost-efficient material for backfill of earth electrodes and improving performance when it is physically impossible to drive the earth rods deeper and where challenging ground conditions exist such as rock, granite, etc.

Product Highlights
Exhibits high thixotropic properties, enabling long-term moisture retention
Requires minimal setup and maintenance costs
Suitable for use even in arid or desert regions
Capable of absorbing up to 1000% of its weight in water
Non-toxic and non-flammable, ensuring safe usage
Enhances the bond between the electrode and surrounding soil by maintaining its shape and adhering closely to the electrode
Maintains consistent hydration of the earthing bed regardless of surface temperature
Helps lower earth resistance by retaining moisture, while also protecting the electrode from corrosion
