Description

Ships are constantly exposed to water and moisture-laden winds, leading to a high risk of corrosion. This corrosion poses a significant threat to the ship’s main structure and machinery, affecting everything from the hull to the smallest operational equipment.

Designed with a lightweight build and high amperage output, our rectangular hull aluminum anode offers exceptional protection for ocean-faring vessels. Its integrated galvanized steel core enables direct welding to the protected steel structure, ensuring a secure and dependable connection.

Quality Substrate Material
Crafted from top-grade raw materials, our hull aluminum anodes are engineered to comply with the GS EP COR 201 standard. Compared to other options on the market, our anodes boast an extended lifespan, offering unparalleled durability and performance.

Low Driving Voltage
Our hull aluminum anode delivers consistent performance even in saltwater and brackish/estuarine environments, maintaining its operational potential within the range of -1.05 to -1.10 volts relative 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 hull aluminum anode’s lower density compared to zinc makes it lighter and more manageable during installation.

Strict Quality Control
Adhering to the ISO 9001:2015 standards, our hull aluminum anode undergoes manufacturing, inspection, and testing processes following rigorous protocols to guarantee exceptional quality.
