There are three main materials used as galvanic
anodes:
Aluminium anodes
The chemical composition of aluminium anodes is
based in the well established Al-Zn-In and it is suitable
for most sea water applications. Their electrochemical
capacity is more than 3 times greater than the capacity
of zinc and it is nowadays the most widely used alloy
for the cathodic protection of ships and other marine
metallic structures.
Our pre-casting quality secures the concentration of
all important elements (either impurities or allying

Magnesium anodes
The magnesium anode generally works well in brackish
and fresh water. Magnesium contains a lower
transition resistance and is therefore better suited in
fresh and brackish water than zinc anodes.
