Why Choose Advance Electrical for Loresco Type SC-3?

High-Performance Backfill for Long-Lasting Cathodic Protection Systems

In the cathodic protection industry, the longevity and efficiency of a groundbed depend heavily on the materials used—especially the backfill. That’s why professionals trust Advance Electrical to supply Loresco Type SC-3, a high-purity, dust-free, and low-resistivity carbon backfill engineered specifically for cathodic protection applications.

At Advance Electrical, we provide Loresco SC-3 not just as a product, but as part of a high-performance solution backed by technical knowledge, fast availability, and industry-leading service.

What Makes Loresco SC-3 the Industry Standard?

✅ Exceptional Purity and Regulatory Compliance

Loresco SC-3 undergoes rigorous EPA extraction tests and is proven to be extremely pure, fully complying with all regulations related to buried materials. Its dust-free formulation ensures a cleaner and safer installation process—ideal for projects that demand environmental responsibility and performance assurance.

🔬 High Fixed Carbon Content

With a fixed carbon content greater than 99.35% by weight, SC-3 offers a superior conductive medium. This translates directly to lower operating resistance and a more efficient current flow—key factors in reducing system energy costs and extending anode life.

⚙️ Optimized for Cathodic Protection Applications

• Bulk Density: 74 lbs per cubic foot

• Particle Shape: Predominantly round, surface-modified for maximum particle size of 1 mm

• Calcination Temperature: Minimum of 1250°C for high structural integrity

• ISO 9002 Certified base materials for consistent quality

Every detail of SC-3 is purpose-built to improve groundbed performance, reduce maintenance, and support long-term corrosion control.

Installation Benefits

• Excellent Pumping and Settling
  Thanks to added surfactants, SC-3 handles easily during pumping and placement, ensuring optimal compaction around anodes without clogging or voids.

• No De-Dusting Oils
  The manufacturing process avoids oils or coatings that can interfere with conductivity or environmental compliance.

• Durable, Practical Packaging
  Each 50 lb bag is made from coated, woven polypropylene—resistant to moisture and rough handling. SC-3 can be stored outside for up to 400 hours of sunlight, and is available in palletized loads of 50 bags. Export packaging is also available upon request.
