Zinc Ribbon Anode
Feature:

Extruded around a centralised galvanized steel wire core, YUXI's zinc ribbon anode is ideal for unattended applications,
where impressed current cathodic protection systems or constant monitoring is not feasible.  Our zinc ribbon anodes are commonly used in passive cathodic protection of metallic structures in confined spaces or high resistivity locations, such as underground carrier pipes within sleeves, closely spaced pipe network, pipelines in rocky and mountainous terrain, limited space between inner and outer casings of wells, interstitial spaces between old, corroded and new storage tank bottoms, or narrow space need winding on the protection of steel structure. Besides, zinc ribbon anodes also provide a cost effective method of AC mitigation on pipelines, or regarded as grounding mats for alienating current mitigation.


CHEMICAL COMPOSITION

Our anode is made from special high grade (SHG) zinc ingots with 99.995% purity. The high-purity composition ensures the anode material is more resistant to passive films. Type I is generally used in seawater or brackish water, while Type II is used in underground and fresh water.
