Many of ILSCO’s connectors are pre-filled with De-Ox® oxide inhibitor to provide an air-tight seal around the conductor and prevent oxidation. ILSCO offers three different formulas: Non-Grit, Zinc, Copper. All three formulas are available in a variety of package sizes.

  • DE-OX Non-Grit is suitable for aluminum or copper terminations.
  • DE-OX-Z contains zinc particles mixed into the non-grit formula, providing improved pull-out strength and reduced operating temperatures for aluminum or copper terminations.
