Sacrificial Anode, made of a zinc metal core, is a protective coating used on concrete surfaces and metal reinforcements to enhance and strengthen the rebar. This product significantly increases structures’ lifespan, durability, and stability over an extended period. Afzir Company recommends using sacrificial anodes for contractors and builders due to their ease of installation, quick implementation, and cost-effectiveness compared to other retrofitting and improvement methods.
\nThe protective properties of sacrificial anodes stem from their highly negative reduction potential. When the sacrificial anode is close to a metal with a higher reduction potential, it converts that metal into a cathode. By utilizing the flow of current, it transfers oxidizing agents through electrons. As a result, the sacrificial anode is consumed instead of the vital metal present in the desired structure, such as steel reinforcement. Structures or constructions equipped with sacrificial anodes can maintain their mechanical properties for many years, ensuring optimal performance. Consequently, such structures have significantly longer service lives compared to conventional ones.
\nSacrificial anodes of alloy type 1 are specifically formulated in saltwater or marine environments. They find extensive applications in reservoirs, pipelines, docks, vessels, and other marine settings.
\nSacrificial anodes of alloy type 2 incorporate standard alloys and are effective in freshwater and buried structures in soil. These anodes can be used with or without backfill.<\/p>\n

A higher mass implies a longer lifespan before depletion. Therefore, it is essential to determine the desired mass and dimensions of sacrificial anodes based on the intended objectives before procurement. The price of sacrificial anodes varies depending on factors such as dimensions, purity percentage, weight, the presence or absence of backfill, alloy type, and market fluctuations.
