Straight Aluminium Hull Anode With Single Strap
Aluminum hull anode provides high amperage protection for oceangoing vessels against corrosion.
Description
Ships are constantly exposed to water and humid conditions, making them highly vulnerable to corrosion. Corrosion poses a significant threat to both the main structure of the ship and its machinery, ranging from the hull to the smallest operational equipment.
Known for its light weight and high amperage output, this aluminum hull anode with a straight shape offers exceptional protection for oceangoing vessels. Its cast-in galvanized steel core enables direct welding to the protected steel structure, ensuring a secure and dependable connection.
Quality Substrate Material
Crafted from premium-grade raw materials, our aluminum hull anode conforms to the GS EP COR 201 standard and boasts an extended lifespan compared to competing products.

Low Driving Voltage
This aluminium hul anode provides a stable performance in salt and brackish/estuarine waters as its operating potential is kept between -1.05 to -1.10 volts relative to 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 aluminum hull anode’s lower density compared to zinc makes it lighter and more manageable during installation.
Strict Quality Control
Our aluminum hull anode undergoes rigorous manufacturing, inspection, and testing procedures to meet ISO 9001:2015 standards, ensuring exceptional quality.
