Rectangular Aluminum Hull Anode With Double Straps
Protect ship hull from corrosion with lightweight, high-amperage rectangular aluminum anode. Ideal for ocean-going vessels, featuring double straps for secure installation.
Description
Continuous exposure to water and moist winds poses a significant corrosion risk to ships. Corrosion threatens the ship’s main structure and machinery, from the hull to smaller components.
Our rectangular aluminum hull anode, known for its lightweight design and high amperage output, offers exceptional protection for ocean-going vessels. With a cast-in galvanized steel core, it ensures a secure and direct weld to safeguard the steel structure against corrosion.
Quality Substrate Material
Crafted from premium raw materials, our aluminum hull anode adheres to GS EP COR 201 standards, ensuring exceptional longevity compared to others.

Low Driving Voltage
This aluminum hull anode delivers consistent performance in saline and brackish/estuarine environments, maintaining an operating potential within the range of -1.05 to -1.10 volts compared to the saturated calomel electrode(SCE).
Technical Measurement | Performance |
---|---|
Open Circuit Voltage (-V) | 1.10 min. |
Closed Circuit Voltage (-V) | 1.05 min. |
Current Capacity | 1135 A.h/lbs (2500 A.h/kg) |
Current Efficiency | 90% min. |
Consumption Rate | 7.6 lbs/A·y (3.4 kg/A·y) |
Much Lighter in Weight
The lower density of the aluminum hull anode compared to zinc results in a lighter weight, facilitating easier handling during installation.
Strict Quality Control
Our aluminum hull anode undergoes rigorous manufacturing, inspection, and testing procedures in compliance with ISO 9001:2015 standards to guarantee top-notch quality.
