Marconite
Thorne & Derrick are a leading distributor of Earthing & Lightning Protection Systems, including Marconite, the world’s premium electrically conductive aggregate material.
Marconite compound is used as a backfill to enhance the earthing effects of copper earthing rods – Marconite enables permanent, stable and low resistance earthing solutions even in difficult ground and soil conditions.

Marconite Benefits
- Low resistivity – 0.001 ohm.m is extremely low when compared to Bentonite type earthing compounds with resistivity at 3 ohm.m
- Versatile – Marconite is suitable for most ground conditions and becomes a permanent, solid structure that is not prone to shrinking, drying out or being washed away
- Cost effective- permanent earthing solution, there is no need to remove and replace or “maintain” with additional water/salts every few years in order to achieve the desired earth values
- Chemically inert – non-corrosive to steel or copper earthing products, Marconite does not attack cement structures and has a pH within the neutral range
- High strength – Marconite can be used as part of the building structure itself and can achieve strengths higher than Grade 25 concrete
