Frequently Asked Questions

ECOCONTACT® is a multi-component metal foam that can be adapted to every type of materials and industrial electric contact surfaces. ECOCONTACT® is very simple to install and offers various advantages:

  • Reliability of the contacts through hot points removal.
  • Optimisation of the electrical installations by improving the lifetime connections
  • Minimize energy costs and fire risks
  • Get rid of maintenance costs

ECOCONTACT® is a multi-component metal foam that is adapted to all type of materials and industrial electric contact surfaces: copper, bare or covered aluminium.

No, it is not necessary to clean the contact surfaces before setting up ECOCONTACT®. Simply open the connection, remove excess grease and dust with a Scotch brite buffer and place ECOCONTACT®.

The ECOCONTACT® composition material used doesn’t suffer from water, so that ECOCONTACT® performances are not affected. Besides, ECOCONTACT® gives a waterproof benefit to the treated connection.

ECOCONTACT® can be used for connections up to 100 A/mm²

According to the laboratory tests, the lifetime of the product is estimated to 20 years and over (salt fog and moist heat according to the standard IEC 600 68–2–30: 2005 and IEC 600 68–2–11: 1999)
