- Oxide-inhibiting compounds produce low initial contact resistance, seal out air and moisture, prevent oxidation or corrosion, exhibit superior weathering characteristics, are usable over wide temperature ranges, and provide a high conductivity “gastight” joint.
- Compounds contain homogeneously suspended metal particles. The suspended metal particles assist in penetrating thin oxide films, act as electrical “bridges” between conductor strands. the integrity of the connection
- Aid in gripping the conductor, improve electrical conductivity and enhance the integrity of the connection
- The specially formulated compounds are for use with compression and bolted connectors providing an improved service life for both aluminum connections.
- PENETROX A is a natural (petroleum) base compound with evenly suspended zinc particles. It is recommended for aluminum to aluminum, aluminum to copper connections and aluminum conduit threads. It is not recommended for use with rubber or polyethylene insulated conductors. UL listed to 600V.
PENA138 is an oxide inhibitor used in electrical compression terminals. Manufactured to accommodate aluminum to aluminum and aluminum to copper connections and aluminum conduit threading. This also serves as a product used with insulated cable. PENA138 has zinc particles which are suspended to provide more conductive surface area when applied. This product is recommended for all voltages and is UL Listed and ROHS compliant
