Zinc Ribbon Anode

Zinc strip anodes are a type of sacrificial anode cathodic protection material, the main material is zinc metal. The diamond-shaped zinc strip anodes conform to ASTM-B418 (Type I/ Type II) and have good mechanical properties.

Overview

Product Performance

Good flexibility, easy installation, easy to make a variety of anode length and shape, such as spiral, disc;

Uniform current distribution, high current efficiency, greater than 95%;

Can adapt to higher resistivity environment;

No external power supply is required, the strip has a continuous conductive core, less electrical connection;

Can pass through narrow local occasions and difficult environment, more flexible application;

Small resistance to ground per unit weight, large current;

Zinc belt anode can be used in fresh water, seawater environment, can also be used in buried structures.

Can do ground pole, release AC, lightning, protect equipment and personal safety.
