Zinc Anodes
Zinc anodes are a commonly used material in cathodic protection systems, particularly favored in environments with high conductivity, such as seawater. Zinc is a low-potential, cost-effective anode that offers high protection efficiency. Zinc anodes are known for their durability in seawater and their effective corrosion prevention properties.
In soil and freshwater environments, zinc anodes provide an efficient solution for protecting metal structures against corrosion. Due to their low potential and cost-effectiveness, zinc anodes are preferred in various applications, such as water storage tanks, pipelines, and metal structures along lakes and rivers. These anodes ensure high protection efficiency in soil and freshwater conditions, enhancing the durability of metal structures and offering long-term use. The use of zinc anodes effectively prevents corrosion in these environments, reducing maintenance and repair costs.
Zinc anodes are manufactured and applied in accordance with standards such as TS 5141, TS 9234, and TS 13174, as well as relevant international standards. These standards specify the dimensions, chemical composition, and electrochemical properties of the anodes, ensuring high performance and reliability. When produced to these standards, zinc anodes provide effective and long-lasting protection against corrosion, thereby increasing the efficiency and durability of the systems they protect.
