OVERVIEW

Keep Your Connections Cool

If you are building your own welding leads or repairing a machine, you know that a bad ground or a loose lug can ruin your day—and your equipment. Aluminum cable is great for weight savings, but it oxidizes the second air hits it. That white powder (oxide) acts like an insulator, causing your connections to get hot, drop voltage, and eventually burn up. That's where the Alcoa No. 2 Electrical Joint Compound comes in.

This isn't just regular grease; it's a conductive compound designed to eat through that oxide layer and keep it gone. When you are bolting a lug onto your machine or setting up a quick-connect, a squirt of this EJC ensures you are getting full amperage to the arc. It works on aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-copper connections, making it perfect for adapting different cable types in the shop.

The 8 oz squeeze bottle is easy to keep in your toolbox without making a mess. Just clean your metal bright, apply the compound, and bolt it down. It seals out water and shop grime, so your connections stay tight and cool for the long haul. Don't let resistance rob your power—grease your joints with Alcoa No. 2.

FAQ

It is designed to dissolve oxide films on aluminum surfaces and seal out moisture to maintain low electrical resistance in bolted joints.

Yes, it is suitable for aluminum-to-copper connections as well as aluminum-to-aluminum.

No, Alcoa No. 2 EJC is a smooth compound intended for flat, bolted connections. It does not contain abrasive grit.

Clean the conductor and lug surface with a wire brush, apply the compound liberally to both surfaces, and bolt them together securely.

Yes, it improves conductivity by removing insulating oxides and preventing corrosion.

When stored properly in a closed container, it has an indefinite shelf life, though it should be checked for separation before use.

If the heat is caused by high resistance at the connection points due to oxidation, yes, this compound will help reduce that resistance and heat.

No. Dielectric grease is an insulator. This is a joint compound designed to facilitate electrical connection, not block it.
