Bentonite earthing powder is a ground enhancement compound and earthing chemical used around earth rods and earthing pits to reduce soil resistivity, improve grounding efficiency, and ensure electrical safety in industrial, solar, and lightning protection systems. Bentonite Earthing Powder by Electric Power Engineering (EPEPK) is a professional-grade ground enhancement material designed to achieve low and stable earth resistance in all soil conditions.
Bentonite Earthing Powder High Conductivity Earthing Chemical for Grounding
Bentonite earthing powder is a high-performance earthing chemical designed to achieve low and stable earth resistance in all soil conditions, including dry, sandy, and rocky soil.It is widely used in electrical earthing systems, lightning protection installations, solar grounding, substations, generators, and commercial buildings across Pakistan where long-term grounding reliability is required.

Bentonite Gel Powder | Earthing Chemical
Bentonite gel powder is a natural sodium bentonite-based earthing chemical that forms a conductive gel when mixed with water.
This gel surrounds the earth electrode and creates a low-resistance electrical path between the soil and grounding system.
Unlike traditional salt or charcoal, bentonite gel powder:
Retains moisture for long periods
Does not corrode earth electrodes
Maintains stable earth resistance throughout the year
It is commonly used with:
What is Bentonite Earthing Powder?
Bentonite earthing powder is a ground enhancement compound (GEM) used in electrical grounding systems to improve conductivity between soil and earth electrodes.
When hydrated, it expands and fills air gaps in the soil, ensuring:
Better electrical contact
Reduced soil resistivity
Consistent earthing performance
It is classified as an earthing chemical suitable for modern grounding systems that follow international standards such as IEC 62561, IEEE 80, and BS 7430.
How Bentonite Powder is Used for Earthing Purposes?
Bentonite earthing powder is used as a conductive backfill material around earth rods, plates, or electrodes inside an earthing pit.
Common Earthing Applications
Transformer and generator earthing
HT & LT panel grounding
Substation grounding systems
Solar inverter and DC grounding
Telecom towers and data centers
It is widely used in industrial, solar, and infrastructure projects across Pakistan.
How to Use Bentonite Powder for Earthing and Its Benefits
Step-by-Step Installation Method
Dig an earthing pit (300×300×300 mm or 450×450×450 mm)
Install a copper or GI earth electrode vertically
Mix bentonite earthing powder with clean water to form slurry
Pour the slurry evenly around the electrode
Compact the soil and seal the pit
Benefits of Using Bentonite Earthing Powder
Achieves low and stable earth resistance
Performs well in dry, sandy, and rocky soil
Does not damage copper or GI electrodes
Requires no periodic maintenance
Long-lasting earthing solution (10–15 years)
Environmentally safe earthing chemical
