Excellence of AI-Anode
- Al-Anode are economical due to their higher effective electrical capacity per unit weight compared to Magnesium alloy anodes and zinc alloy anodes.
- Polarization action is minimal even over an extended period, maintaining a high anode potential through the service life, resulting in stable output current and high current efficiency.
- Anode weight is lighter for the same effective output, it is more convenient for transportation, handling, and installation.
- There are no harmful components in the anode composition, eliminating concerns about environmental pollution.
- The moderate potential difference allows for excellent automatic regulation, preventing overprotection.
- Anode consumption is uniform.
- It is still effective even in relatively contaminated seawater.
- With low potential difference against iron, hydrogen generation is minimal, avoiding damage from hydrogen evolution.

ZN-ANODE Excellence
- Over an extended period, polarization action is minimal, maintaining a high anode potential through the service life, resulting in stable output current and high current efficiency.
- With self-adjusting capabilities, the generated current is regulated based on the degree of polarization, avoiding unnecessary consumption.
- ZN-ANODE, as a metal that does not produce sparks even when in contact with iron from a height, is the most suitable anode material for hazardous material handling facilities.
- With a low potential difference against iron, hydrogen generation is minimal, avoiding damage from hydrogen evolution.
- Aluminum or magnesium alloy anodes can generate a significant amount of electrolytic byproducts, requiring periodic cleaning. However, ZN-ANODE does not require cleaning.
- The byproducts generated as ZN-ANODE leaks stray current and undergoes polarization in seawater attach to the surrounding iron surfaces, serving as corrosion inhibitors.
