Material Zinc;
Description Anodic protection is designed to reduce and prevent the effects of galvanic corrosion on the ship's hull and its assemblies. Zinc anodes are used in salt water. When the ship is stored ashore, the protective anodes are oxidized and the level of galvanic corrosion protection becomes very low. Before launching, the anodes should be cleaned with emery paper to remove any oxides. It is recommended to replace the anode if it has decreased by more than 1/3 of its original size.;
Important - ZINC ANODES are recommended for use in salty and slightly saline waters - ALUMINUM ANODES are intended for use in both salty and fresh water (outwardly they are not consumed and the wear of such an anode must be determined by weighing) - MAGNESIUM ANODES are applicable only for fresh water, but provide the best protection. Carefully consider the choice of anode protection material, be sure to take into account the local operating conditions. Never paint over protective anodes;
