Good connections are one of the most important aspects of electrical work. Mechanics
know how much downtime is caused when fluids or oils leak into the raceway system or
when looking for a weak link in a ground system caused by a high resistance connection.
Mechanics also know how much time is spent keeping contacts, switches, lugs and other
connectors clean or replacing parts because of “green scourge” buildup. Thomas & Betts
has the solution to improve connections made in thousands of electrical and raceway
installations made each day by electricians everywhere.
Kopr-Shield
®
compound is a unique homogenized blend of pure, polished colloidal copper,
rust and corrosion inhibitors that simultaneously protects, lubricates and enhances the
conductivity of the mating surfaces to which it is applied. Extremely adhesive, Kopr-Shield
®
compound flows smoothly into uneven contours and voids, making application easy,
protection and lubrication complete and positive. A stable compound, it will not settle-out,
thin, thicken, harden, or dry out under the most severe environmental conditions.
Kopr-Shield
®
Compound has excellent temperature characteristics — brushed on at
-50˚ F to 250˚ F (other compounds either turn solid or run like water at these extremes).
Even at 1800˚ F, Kopr-Shield
®
remains intact for short terms.
Kopr-Shield
®
Compound may be used to advantage in all electrical installations.
When the environment is hostile to good electrical and mechanical connections,
Kopr-Shield
®
Compound is a must!
Kopr-Shield
®
by Thomas & Betts meets the requirements
of Section 300.6(A) in the 2002 NEC Code for Protection
Against Corrosion.
“Where corrosion protection is necessary and the conduit is
threaded in the field, the threads shall be coated with an
approved electrically conductive, corrosion-resistant compound.”
