The experience achieved in the marine field in 60 years of activity in cathodic protection business, and particularly in monitoring and control of cathodic protection devices, has allowed us to transfer our know how to the leisure boating industry both for steel, aluminium alloy and fibreglass yachts. Many efforts have been spent along the years in order to evaluate the specific demands of this market sector, making the on board components compact and light as much as possible, minimizing the size of the equipment, and identifying simple and efficient solutions for the crew.

Industrial complexes like refineries, underground pipelines, power stations, water treatment plants, coolers, tanks, and many others are metallic structures in contact with an electrolytic environment such as soil or water need to be protected from galvanic corrosion. Besides the application of protective coatings, and the use of special construction materials, cathodic protection systems must be considered using sacrificial anodes, or impressed currents, or a combination of both, in order to assure the long lifetime foreseen at the design stage.
E. Polipodio can provide consultancy and engineering on projects where corrosion is a concern, both at design stage or problem solving and compliments its experience with a large range of cathodic protection products specially designed for industrial use.

Corrosion is a natural process and upon exposure to the marine environment, metals gradually revert to their original oxidized stable condition: this is the corrosion process.
Even if a good coating system applied on the submerged hull may help in reducing corrosion, it is not possible to eliminate the need for correctly designed cathodic protection system. During the 60 years of experience in cathodic protection, E. Polipodio has been able to collect data and specific experiences that have allowed the company to go through all the aspects linked to the corrosion of metallic surfaces in contact with salt water.
The wide range of products for hull and tanks on board of ships can suit any class and size of vessel, trading in different environment, and featuring any type of specification.
Sea chests and pipe-work suffer moreover the problems of fouling growth, increasing considerably their maintenance costs. This problem has been faced and solved by Polipodio developing a series of antifouling products to assure a long term functioning of the ship cooling systems.
