Can someone tell me the name of the material that is used to around Ground Rods to enhance its ability to ground. I was thinking that it was used to stop water from penetrating to outside walls that

Sodium Bentonite, yes that's the stuff thank you very much for the reply Pat. I kind of remembered that it was like Fuller's Earth or maybe is Fuller's Earth. Thanks again, Mike, K6BR From: Pat Thurm

Fuller's Earth is different than bentonite. Bentonite is a type of clay. Fuller's earth is also known I think as diatomaceous earth Scott Sodium Bentonite, yes that's the stuff thank you very much fo

Scott, You got me looking the stuff up on Wikipedia, it looks like Fullers Earth is just about the same thing, it is a clay, just depends what the main ingredient is. Actually it looks like fullers E

Yes, that's the stuff. Looks like Fullers Earth would be classed as Montmorillonite. Mike Do you mean Bentonite? Montmorillonite? Immature kitty-litter? Bill-W4BSG ___________________________________

There's a variety of things, but maybe you were thinking of bentonite? Or Montmorillion clay? (they're pretty similar) _______________________________________________ ________________________________

Fuller's earth is similar to bentonite and various other things. They're all real hygroscopic, which helps retain the water, which means good conductivity. I suppose Kieselguhr would work too. ______

MikeDon't be confused by references to "Fullers Earth"; Bentonite and Fullers Earth behave VERY differently. Chemical similarity does not make them work the same way. Bentonite's value is in the beha

Bill raises a good point. I think that for ground conductivity enhancement it's the water holding capability and the fine particulates that's important, more than the mechanical properties. So all th
