Magnesium Anode

Product Introduction

Magnesium sacrificial anodes provide reliable cathodic protection for buried or immersed steel structures. Thanks to the most negative driving potential among galvanic anodes, magnesium anodes are the first choice in high-resistivity environments such as soil and fresh water. We produce cast anodes (ingot type, D type, bracelet type) and pre-packaged anodes with cotton bag and backfill.

Typical Applications

Underground oil & gas pipelines Storage tank bottoms Buried cables & pilings Ship hulls & ballast tanks Port & offshore structures Water heaters & condensers
