Simet 88999006 Anti-Oxidation Contact Paste for Al/Cu and Al/Al Connectors 236ml

The Simet 88999006 anti-oxidation contact paste is a specialized chemical agent formulated to enhance the performance and longevity of electrical connections involving aluminum conductors. By creating a protective barrier, this 236ml paste effectively prevents the formation of oxide layers that typically occur on aluminum surfaces, thereby maintaining optimal electrical conductivity between aluminum-to-copper and aluminum-to-aluminum joints.

Advantages

This contact paste significantly improves the reliability of electrical installations by reducing contact resistance at the connection point. Its unique chemical composition prevents galvanic corrosion, which is a common issue when dissimilar metals like aluminum and copper are joined. By sealing the contact area from moisture and atmospheric contaminants, the paste ensures that the connection remains stable over time, reducing the risk of overheating and potential failure in electrical systems.

Suitable for

• Aluminum-to-copper electrical connections
• Aluminum-to-aluminum electrical connections
• Terminal blocks and connectors in residential and industrial wiring
• Outdoor and indoor electrical installations prone to oxidation

When it may not be suitable

This product is specifically engineered for aluminum and copper electrical joints and should not be used for applications involving non-conductive materials or mechanical parts that require lubrication. It is not intended for use on electronic circuit boards or delicate micro-components where the paste consistency might cause bridging or contamination.

Key specifications

• Volume: 236ml
• Compatibility: Aluminum-to-copper and aluminum-to-aluminum
• Function: Anti-oxidation and corrosion prevention
• Application: Electrical connectors and terminals

How to use

Before applying the paste, ensure that the conductor surfaces are clean and free from debris. Apply a thin, even layer of the Simet 88999006 paste directly onto the contact surfaces of the conductors or inside the terminal connector. Once the paste is applied, insert the conductors into the connector and tighten the terminal screws according to the manufacturer's torque specifications. Wipe away any excess paste that may have squeezed out during the tightening process.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of your specific connector type
• Ensure the electrical system is de-energized before application
• Check the volume requirements for your specific project size

Usage recommendations

For maximum effectiveness, always ensure that the contact surfaces are properly prepared and that the terminal connection is tightened to the correct torque to ensure a solid mechanical and electrical bond.
