Ship Cathodic Protection - Overview
Cathodic protection is one of the most effective ways of reducing or eliminating the corrosion damage that invariably affects metals (iron in particular) that are in contact with sea water.
Paint provides only limited protection for ships' hulls, so an effective cathodic protection system must be employed using sacrificial anodes, impressed currents, or a combination of both.
Rudders, propellers, thruster tunnels, stabiliser fins etc. on the hull and seachests, ballast tanks, water tanks and coolers on everboard require similar protection.
Polipodio has the right product to protect one of these !
Sacrificial Anodes
Polipodio produces a vast range of high quality sacrificial zinc and aluminium anodes that are designed to offer a constant and measurable protection on ships of all sizes.
Our weld-on and bolt-on anodes are used to protect the ship's hull and appendages (stabiliser fins, rudder, propeller, etc.), and it's seachests, ballast tanks and water tanks, and coolers.
Our suspended anodes are used to protect ships under construction.
ICCP Impressed Current Cathodic Protection
Systems Impressed Current systems can be used instead of or together with our sacrificial anodes.
