Vector Corrosion Technologies - Concrete Corrosion, Concrete Corrosion Repair, Concrete Corrosion Mitigation, Concrete Corrosion Prevention, Concrete Corrosion Control

Galvanode ZincSheet, supplied by Vector Corrosion Technologies, is a pre-manufactured anode unit consisting of a 10 mil (250 micron) thick 99.9% zinc sheet with an ionically conductive pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive.  Applications that are subjected to saturated conditions such as ponded or running water is protected by a suitable reinforced waterproof coating system.

Galvanode® ZincSheet                                                                       Surface Mounted Galvanic Protection System

Description

Galvanode ZincSheet is used to provide galvanic corrosion protection to reinforced concrete structures. The system is applied to concrete surfaces and connected electrically to the embedded reinforcing steel. Once installed, the zinc anode corrodes preferentially to the surrounding rebar, thereby providing galvanic corrosion control or cathodic protection to the adjacent reinforcing steel.

The Galvanode ZincSheet system consists of high purity zinc sheets, ionically conductive acrylic adhesive, and a removable protective liner. This sheet is supplied in rolls with a width of 9.8 in. (25 cm) and length of 82 ft. (25 m). For applications where the anode should be protected from the environment, the zinc sheet and surrounding concrete is protected by a reinforced elastomeric waterproof coating system.

    Features and Benefits

    		•

    Proven technology - high level of protection as demonstrated in laboratory and field installations.
    		•  Focused Protection - installed to protect specific areas of a structure or for global protection of entire elements. 
    		• Economical - cost effective corrosion mitigation solution.
    		• Versatile - effective with carbonated and chloride contaminated concrete.  Can be used for both conventionally reinforced and prestressed or post-tensioned concrete.
    		• Low Maintenance - requires no external power source or system monitoring.
    		• Measurable - anode performance can be easily monitored if required.
    		• Long Lasting - 10 to 20 year service life reduces the need for future repairs.
