Zinc anodes

Zinc anodes

Zinc anodes are widely used in industrial systems as sacrificial anodes for cathodic protection, thanks to their favourable electrochemical properties. With high current efficiency, they provide effective corrosion protection for steel structures such as pipelines, tanks, and marine installations.

An important advantage is their controlled self-consumption: the anode gradually dissolves during service, providing stable and long-lasting protection without the need for active intervention. Thanks to their predictable electrochemical behaviour, zinc anodes deliver a consistent protective current, allowing systems to operate automatically with minimal monitoring.

With a typical service life of 20 to 30 years, zinc anodes provide a reliable and low-maintenance solution for applications requiring long-term corrosion protection, including offshore, buried, and marine environments. Available in a wide range of sizes and shapes.
