Compression Connectors Featuring the Color-Keyed
®
System
Joint Compound
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 they have to look 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 may be used to your advantage
in all electrical installations. When the environment is hostile to electrical
and mechanical connections, Kopr-Shield
®
Compound is a must!
Kopr-Shield
®
Joint Compound
Copper colloidal surface treatment protects,
lubricates and enhances conductivity of all
electrical connections.

Use Kopr-Shield
®
Compound for battery lugs and cables to:
• Prevent “green scourge” corrosion
• Reduce resistance
• Ease terminal installation and removal
Use Kopr-Shield
®
Compound for raceways to:
• Lubricate for ease of assembly and disassembly
• Improve grounding continuity (exceeds code requirements)
Use Kopr-Shield
®
Compound for fuse clips to:
• Eliminate hot spots for even heat distribution
• Prevent oxidation by preventing carbon path formation
• Lubricate for easy installation and removal of fuses
Use Kopr-Shield
®
Compound for wiping contacts,
drum switches and slip rings to:
• Prevent galling, burning, pitting and discoloration
• Suppress arching and dissipation of coronas
• Lubricate for ease of operation
• Unique, homogenized blend of pure,
polished colloidal copper, rust and
corrosion inhibitors
• Simultaneously protects, lubricates
and enhances conductivity of mating
surfaces
• Extremely adhesive compound flows
smoothly into uneven contours and
voids, ensuring easy application and
complete, positive protection and
lubrication
• Won’t settle-out, thin, thicken,
harden or dry out under the most
severe environmental conditions
• Excellent temperature characteristics
— can be brushed on at -50° F
to 250° F (other compounds either
turn solid or run like water at these
extremes) and remains intact at
short terms even at 1,800° F
