Zinc Soil Anodes are used where soil conditions require the use of
Zinc Anodes such as saline mud below 120 F (50 C). These anodes
would protect objects underground such a storage tanks, containers,
and buried structures.
Our anodes are used in recreational , commercial and millitary
vessels.
Placed on hulls, propeller shafts, rudders, trimtabs, outboard
engines,stem drives, and in coding system of most inboard engines
to protect metal parts from galvanic corrosion.
Extruded Zinc Ribbon Anode
Zinc Ribbon Anode are used in a variety of applications. They
provide a very simple ,cost effective, maintenance-free method of
corrosion control for buried or immersed metals such as iron,
steel, aluminium ,copper, etc. It is especially useful for
unattended applications. It can also be used as a temporary system
prior to the installation of an impressed current system and as a
method of providing AC mitigation.
FAQ:
Q. When we we choose to use Zinc anodes ?
A. Exterior of underground or underwater pipe
Interior of pipe handling corrosive waters and effluents
Lead sheathed electric cable in ducts
Other metal-sheathed electric cable in underwater or underground
locations
Copper concentric neutrals of URD cable
Corrosion control and/or grounding of induced AC on underground
pipe
Annulus space between outer steel casing and inner pipe of deep
wells
Interior bottoms of oil storage tanks
Foamed annulus space of insulated steel pipe underground or
underwater
