Zinc Anodes | Saltwater ships, marine vessels | Material: Zinc (99.9% ASTM B20); Corrosion Rate: 0.04 mm/year (ISO 11503) ▲0.03 (Our Advanced) | Effective in saltwater, moderate cost, widely compatible with steel hulls. | Less effective in freshwater; requires frequent replacement in aggressive saltwater. |
Magnesium Anodes | Freshwater lakes/rivers, low-salinity | Mg Content: 99.5% (ASTM B267); Corrosion Rate: 0.12 mm/year (ISO 11503) | Lightweight, ideal for freshwater; lower consumption rate. | Ineffective in saltwater; corrodes rapidly in seawater; higher cost than zinc. |
Aluminum Anodes | High-salinity marine environments | Aluminum Alloy 5456 (ASTM B209); Output: 1.5x higher than zinc (ISO 8406) | High output, long lifespan in corrosive seawater; durable. | Expensive; requires proper installation to avoid galvanic reactions; heavier. |
Aluminum-Zinc Anodes | Harsh industrial waters, offshore rigs | Al-Zn Alloy (ASTM B418); Corrosion Rate: 0.02 mm/year (ISO 11503) ▲0.01 (Our Advanced) | Superior corrosion resistance; efficient in aggressive environments. | Complex manufacturing; higher upfront cost; less common compatibility with metals. |
Sacrificial Anodes | General corrosion protection (boats/ships) | Material: Varies (ASTM B20/B267/B209); Output: Standardized (ISO 8406) | Universal application; simple installation; cost-effective for basic needs. | Less optimized for extreme conditions; may underperform in high-corrosion zones. |
High-Output Anodes | Harbors, industrial ports, aggressive waters | Enhanced Alloy (ISO 11503); Output: 2.0x industry standard (▲1.8x Our Advanced) | Superior protection in extreme environments; extends equipment lifespan. | High cost; requires expert installation; may cause galvanic interference. |
