Resolution:
The use of an antioxidant , such as Noalox, on Panelboard Main Lugs is not required.
The lugs are UL listed for use with copper or aluminum conductors without the use of ANY anti-oxidation supplement.  The use of an antioxidant is not prohibited, but assurances must be made that the brand used, is a NON PETROLEUM based product.  If a petroleum based product is used and comes in contact with the insulating base, the insulating base material can be degraded.
