Model M5C San-Earth Conductive Concrete by Farwest Corrosion

Description

Developed in 1975 in Japan, SAN-EARTH M5C is the original conductive cement. When used in cathodic protection systems, it extends the life of the anode and reduces the overall cost. SAN-EARTH M5C doesn’t expand, shrink, or crack over time. It yields consistent performance and is both environmentally safe and maintenance free. It can be easily installed as a mortar, or as a slurry and, over time, it hardens to become conductive concrete. It helps protect water resources by sealing aquifer, aquitard, and aquiclude / confining layers and helps prevent cross-contamination. Unlike carbon coke, venting is not required as any gas that forms is on the outside surface of the hardened SAN-EARTH M5C. The current is dispersed over the large surface area reducing the breakdown reaction resulting in a smaller amount of gas bubbles which easily dissappate into the surrounding soil. This reduced reaction also allows the cathodic protection system to have a much longer life. SAN-EARTH M5C creates a special enviroment where the galvanic reaction with the anode is minimized.
