I’ve recommended that Penetrox E anti-corrosion compound be applied to copper grounding bus bar connections using BURNDY two hole lugs. Construction thinks this is overkill. Thoughts?

IMO overkill and not required unless you want to waste money.

i used Pentrix E (gets home before you do) on all wires, lugs, GECs to bus bars, LTMC connector, machine screws…my installs are close to Puget sound with damp salt air. After 35 years I would go back to an earlier install and the LTMC nut was not seized up. WASHDOT requires it in their specs on conduit connections.
Where it really makes a difference is on wire terminations for IEC motor starters.
I carried a squeeze bottle in my tool bag.
It’s only listed for copper to copper connections. It displaces moisture and corrosion.
