Marconite is a granulated conductive medium designed to replace the conventional aggregate in concrete and thereby provide a medium with good electrical conductivity and high strength.
It can provide a permanent solution to problems in electrical/constructional situations.
Marconite® is a dark grey, granular material that replaces traditional sand and aggregate materials used within concretes mixes. It should be mixed in the ratio of 3 parts of Marconite® to 1 part cement by weight with the addition of 1 litre of water per 5 Kg of total mix. Marconite® forms a relatively dry material with an ‘as poured’ density of around 1300kg/m³. The water content may be adjusted as the application requires, but this will affect the concretes final compressive strength and the drying times accordingly. Typically Marconite® concretes are touch dry within hours but can be several days before being fully cured.
