Professional Cathodic Protection Solutions

Zinc Ribbon Anodes

High-quality zinc ribbon anodes for cathodic protection systems. Capable of normal installation at -30°C without risk of fracture.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Engineered for Excellence

Our zinc ribbon anode is extruded around a centralised galvanized steel wire core.

🎯 Precision Engineering

Our zinc ribbon anodes provide a cost-effective method for AC mitigation on pipelines and can be used as grounding mats for alienating current mitigation.

❄️ Extreme Weather Ready

Designed for challenging colder weather (-22ºF/-30ºC) environments, such as thawed zones in permafrost, providing reliable corrosion protection in the most demanding conditions.

APPLICATIONS

Versatile Solutions

Typical Applications of Zinc Ribbon Sacrificial Anodes across multiple industries and environments.

🏗️ Underground Pipeline Cathodic Protection

For protecting underground carrier pipes, pipelines within sleeves, and pipelines in congested utility corridors where installation space is limited.

🛢️ Storage Tank Bottom Protection

Installed beneath above-ground storage tank bottoms to prevent corrosion, suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects.

🔧 Well Casing and Borehole Protection

Effective for cathodic protection of the annular space between inner and outer casings in oil and gas wells.

📦 Protection in Confined or Narrow Spaces

Ideal for cable trenches, conduits, ducts, small-diameter pipelines, and other areas where conventional anodes cannot be installed.

⛰️ High-Resistivity Soils or Complex Terrains

Suitable for pipelines crossing rocky, mountainous areas or high-resistivity soils where traditional anodes are less effective.

🌉 Localized Protection of Bridges and Structures

Applied to steel pilings, sheet piles, bridge piers, and reinforcing steel in concrete structures for targeted corrosion prevention.

⚡ Stray Current Drainage and Mitigation

Used for stray current mitigation in areas affected by DC traction systems (e.g., electrified railways, subways, substations).
