Cathodic protection
Zinc anodes
Zinc anodes are sacrificial anodes used for cathodic protection of metal structures. They work by corroding themselves instead of the protected metal, keeping the metal intact and safe. Zinc anodes have low resistance, high potential, and a long lifespan. They are easy to install and replace.
Here are the advantages of zinc anodes for cathodic protection:
- Low resistance: easily donate electrons to the protected metal.
- High potential: creates a significant potential difference with the protected metal for increased current flow.
- Long lifespan: slow and even corrosion, reducing the need for frequent replacement.
- Easy installation.
- Applications
Zinc anodes are ideal for protecting metal structures in saltwater environments, such as ships, ports, offshore platforms, or wind turbines. They function as sacrificial anodes, corroding themselves instead of the protected metal. This ensures the metal remains intact and safe. Zinc anodes have low resistance, high potential, and a long lifespan. They are easy to install and replace.
