Description
Zinc anode type 8 Vetus — CROSSEVEN
Bolted anode from CROSSEVEN brand. The anodes sacrifice themselves for the benefit of protected metals.
Composition and material
- For seawater, you must use an anode made of either zinc alloys or aluminum alloys.
- At equal intensity, an aluminum anode weighs three times less than a zinc anode, presents a higher electronegative potential and pollutes less.
- Perfectly suitable for protecting aluminum hulls.
Functions and technologies
- They must be cleaned and replaced regularly.
- Warning: when worn beyond 60%, they no longer retain their protective capacity.
- For navigation exclusively in fresh water, a magnesium anode should be preferred
