Ortronics AJCC8 Antioxidant Compound Copper 8 Oz

Product Description

The ORTRONICS AJCC8 is an antioxidant compound formulated for use on copper electrical connections and terminations. Applied to contact surfaces before or during assembly, it prevents oxidation that degrades conductivity over time. The compound is packaged in an 8-ounce container, sized for bench use or field service kits. Electricians and low-voltage installers use antioxidant compounds wherever copper conductors are landed at lugs, terminals, or bus bars to ensure a stable, low-resistance connection over the service life of the installation.

This compound is suited for residential and commercial electrical work wherever copper conductors require oxidation protection at connection points. Common applications include panel terminations, service entrance connections, breaker lugs, and grounding conductor contact surfaces. The 8-ounce container is practical for single-job use or as a shop stock item for ongoing service work.

Installation Notes

Apply by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and the terminal or lug manufacturer instructions. De-energize and lock out the circuit before servicing any termination point. Apply a thin, even coat to the copper conductor or lug surface prior to landing and torquing the connection. Avoid over-application that could migrate into adjacent components.
