Exothermic Weld Metal

Telecommunication towers, like all other conductive, yet non-current carrying structures on a site must be electrically grounded to protect the telecommunication equipment and even tower technicians. Whether it be from a stray lightning strike or even a short circuit in the power system, the structures need to have an unobstructed electrical path to ground. To do that, you need to exothermically weld your structure to a copper conductor and exothermically weld that copper conductor to a ground ring, ground rod, or even a chemical grounding rod system. Exothermically welded conductors are the safest and strongest electrical connections that will stand the test of time, far beyond mechanical and compression connectors. ASK carries all the exothermic welding supplies you will need to get the job done. We have the exothermic welding powders available on our site, exothermic welding handles, exothermic welding graphite molds, and everything else you need to complete your next grounding project. Our exothermic welding powders are the purest available today ensuring the resulting exothermically welded metal will be strong and conductive. ASK Tower Supply’s very own branded exothermic weld metal, Guzan comes in smart foil pouches which keep the starting powder from mixing with the weld metal while on the go. This packaging is much safer, simpler, and effective for technicians working in remote and even mountain-top cellular sites.
