EMACO® CP Intact Galvanic Anodes
EMACO®
CP Intact Galvanic Anodes are engineered discrete zinc anodes encased in a proprietary mortar. Integral galvanized tie wires permit easy connection to concrete reinforcement. As a key component of a complete concrete repair strategy, the sacrificial zinc core generates a small electrical current as it is consumed, protecting the reinforcing steel from accelerated corrosion.
Features
- Chelation Driven System Prevents re-passivation of the zinc;
- Lower pH mortar Non-caustic;
- High grade ASTM B418 type II zinc alloy
- Pre-twisted tie wires
- Increased zinc surface area
- Generates small current as it deteriorates, to
- Enhanced transport of reaction by products
- Not affected by carbonation or auto-corrosion Greater shelf life
Benefits
- Optimizes service life
- Safe to handle
- Prolonged shelf life; reduced tendency toward degradation
- Proper stand-off from reinforcing steel; ensures optimal current throw; fast, easy installation
- Optimizes anode performance; extends service life; up to 50% more efficient than other anodes of same zinc weight
- Extends service life and reduces maintenance protect reinforcing steel costs
- Anode reactives after wet/dry cycles; longer service life
Where to Use
- Where reinforced structures will be repaired
- Where chlorides are present in the structure
- Wherever corrosion of reinforcing steel is possible
- In post-tensioned, prestressed, or conventionally reinforced structures
- Interior or exterior
- Concrete or masonry
