Vectrode^® Surface Plus

The Vectrode^® Surface Plus system is a surface-mounted anode solution designed to deliver targeted or global impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) to steel-reinforced concrete structures.

The system includes iBalance^™ current regulation technology to optimize system/zone performance and prevent current dumping and short circuits, ensuring long-term protection and compatibility with a wide range of structural configurations.

Utilizing a durable titanium MMO (Mixed Metal Oxide) mesh anode, the system mitigates corrosion by applying a controlled electrical current to the embedded reinforcing steel, maintaining it in a passive, non-corroding state.

Features and Benefits

• Cathodic protection – Designed to meet international cathodic protection performance criteria.
• Proven technology – Built on decades of cathodic protection experience, the Vectrode® Surface Plus system leverages titanium MMO ribbon mesh anodes and industry-tested control systems for durable, long-term performance.
• Fast installation – Modular, surface-mounted tray design is optimized for efficient, low-disruption installation on vertical or overhead concrete members.
• Long lasting – Titanium MMO mesh anode is inert and highly durable, offering extended service life with minimal degradation in harsh environments.
• Controlled protection – Integrated iBalance^™ technology ensures optimal current flow and prevents current dumping, and current shorts, extending system life and avoiding potential damage from overcurrent.
• Design flexibility – Anode design and spacing can be customized to meet project performance requirements and service life objectives.
• Convenient replacement – Surface mounted anodes can be easily removed and replaced when needed
• Economical – Save time and money by targeting only the remaining areas of high corrosive risk.
• Versatile – Effective in chloride contaminated and carbonated concrete.
• Mechanically and ionically bonded – Anodes are grouted and anchored to ensure bond to structure is maintained throughout the service life of the anode.
• UV resistant – Anode housing is made with uPVC, the same material used in vinyl house siding. uPVC has excellent durability in outdoor environments, including high UV degradation resistance.
• Fire & heat resistance – Rated 5VA under UL 94, the anode housing uses uPVC material which is combustible but also naturally flame retardant and will not cause, support or encourage the development of fire.
