Galvashield® XP Products

The Galvashield XP range of embedded galvanic anode units utilize an innovative zinc anode core design surrounded by an enhanced formulated cement-based mortar to provide corrosion mitigation to reinforced concrete structures. The anode units are alkali-activated (Type A) with an internal pH of 14 or greater to keep the zinc active over the life of the anode while being non-corrosive to reinforcing steel. The anode units utilize 2G Technology™ to provide higher current output. Once installed, the zinc anode corrodes preferentially to the adjacent reinforcing steel, thereby providing galvanic corrosion prevention or corrosion control.

Applications:

Patch repairs
Bridge widening
Joints between new/existing concrete
Slab replacement
Expansion joint repair
Pre-stressed concrete
Post-tensioning anchors
Repair of epoxy-coated rebar
