Loresco
type SC-2 is a dust-free product and, according to EPA
extraction tests, is extremely pure and complies with regulations
governing buried products. SC-2 mixes easily with water and may be
pumped into deep anode systems. Loresco SC-2 is designed to
promote electronic flow between the anode surface and itself.
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.
