    BICON Prysmian BX1 225 Electrical Joint Compound

    BICON BX1-225 is an inhibitor compound designed to prevent galvanic corrosion and enhance electrical connections, especially for aluminium to aluminium and aluminium to copper joints. It has a natural grease base containing zinc particles that help break down oxides on conducting surfaces when joined under pressure, forming electrical bridges to improve connectivity. BICON BX1-225 should be used for all bare outdoor aluminium connections and joints where insulation will not be applied, as it has excellent weathering properties despite its grease base potentially affecting some insulators.

    Compound Used?
    surfaces of the elements to be joined should be
    thoroughly scratch brushed. The BICON BX1-225 should
    be liberally applied and any excess removed after
    securing the joint.

    BICON BX1-225 should be used for all applications


    where insulation will not be applied to the joint, such
    as substations and switchgears.

    BX1-225
    BICON Inhibitor compounds are designed to prevent galvanic corrosion and to enhance connections in electrical joints. They are especially
    effective when used on copper to aluminium and aluminium to aluminium connections.

    In general BICON Inhibitor Compounds consist of a liquid base vehicle in which zinc particles are suspended. The base vehicle is a natural or
    synthetic grease which prevents water and other contaminents from influencing the connection and prevents the formation of surface oxides.
    The zinc particles help to break down existing oxide on the conducting surfaces when those surfaces are brought together under pressure.
    These particles form electrical bridges which improve the connection.

    BICON BX1-225 has a natural (petroleum) grease base. It is recommended for all bare outdoor applications because of its excellent weathering
    properties. This petroleum base reacts chemically with rubber insulation and to a lesser degree with polyethylene insulation. The result is
    swelling and a reduction in the tensile characteristics of the insulation material. If reasonable care is taken to remove any excess from a
    connection, the resulting effect on insulating material is negligible.

    Our experience shows that BICON BX1-225 Inhibitor Compound enhances the performance of electrical connections, particularly in aluminium
    to aluminium and aluminium to copper joints. The compounds, in bulk, are highly resistive, however, when applied as a thin film, with the aid
    of zinc particles, they decrease the contact resistance of a joint.
