Braco Corrosion Inhabiting Compound is recommended for crimping connections. It is suggested where conditions are particularly aggressive such as chemical or salt-laden atmospheres or where inspection and cleaning are not regular.
Braco Corrosion Inhabiting Compound is mixture of Grey Lithium based grease with abrasive particles and suspended Zinc particles, which assist in jointing because as metal flows under pressure the abrasive particles cause small area of cold welding:
Corrosion Inhibitor does not affect the electrical properties of the compression joint
It is non corrosive to aluminium copper steel tin zinc and combination of these metals
It does not deteriorate on exposure to atmosphere at conductor operating temperature
It has good sealing properties against moisture and contaminating substances in the atmosphere It has high temperature drop point
The mixture contains
Grey Lithium based grease: 85%
Zinc Chromate: 5%
Titanium Dioxide: 10%
Test Report
The test carried out on 200mm conductor joined with Aluminium lugs 95 Sq mm The test results found in terms of mV drop compared to joint with non-use of compound joint with Braco Compound and joint with imported compound
