01

Embedded Galvanic Anode for Reinforced Concrete

Cathodic Protection (CP) — for Reinforcing Steel

Purpose & best fit

Protects rebar in reinforced concrete from chloride-induced corrosion, carbonation, and saltwater ingress. Suitable for both new construction and repair of existing structures.

Working principle

Zinc anode encased in special alkaline mortar (pH ≥ 14 with lithium hydroxide) prevents zinc passivation. Galvanic current flows to the rebar, maintaining the passive film and preventing chloride-induced corrosion.

Specifications

Polarization Decay
≥ 100 mV
Protection Radius
≥ 60 cm
Service Life
≥ 10 ปี / years
Mortar pH
≥ 14
Installation
ผูกกับเหล็กเสริมด้วยลวดหรือเหล็กรัด / Tie-wired or strapped to rebar

Real-world applications

  • Reinforced concrete structures in coastal/marine environments
  • Piers, jetties, submerged concrete piles
  • Bridge decks exposed to chloride deicing
  • Dams, pumping stations, structures with saltwater ingress
  • Patch repair of corroding existing structures

Benefits & outcomes

  • Contains no chlorides or bromides that damage steel
  • Easy installation — tie-wired to rebar before concrete pour
  • No external power needed (vs. impressed current) — zero maintenance
  • Extends structure life ≥ 10 years, reducing long-term repair cost

02

Aluminium Sacrificial Anode

Marine CP — Seawater & Brackish Water

Purpose & best fit

Protects submerged or splash-zone steel structures in seawater/brackish water — ship hulls, piers, offshore pipelines. Chosen over zinc when high current capacity per unit weight is needed.

Working principle

Based on Galvanic Series — aluminium has lower electrochemical potential than steel and corrodes preferentially, releasing electrons through the electrolyte (seawater) to suppress anodic reaction on the steel surface.

Specifications

Base Metal
High-purity aluminium alloy
Environment
Seawater + brackish water
Current Capacity
สูงกว่าสังกะสีต่อหน่วยน้ำหนัก / Higher than zinc per unit weight
Forms
Slab, ribbon, bracelet — ตามแบบโครงการ

Real-world applications

  • Ship hulls
  • Steel piers & pilings
  • Offshore structures, oil platforms
  • Ballast tanks

Benefits & outcomes

  • Highest current capacity among sacrificial anodes
  • Lighter weight per unit of protection vs. zinc
  • More cost-effective than Impressed Current systems for medium scale
  • Works in both seawater and brackish water — single formulation

Industry reference standards

DNV-GL Section 7 (Corrosion Protection)ISO 9001มอก. (Thai industrial standards)
03

Zinc Sacrificial Anode

Marine CP — High-strength steel + overprotection-sensitive systems

Purpose & best fit

Protects ship hulls, sea chests, heat exchangers, and seawater-immersed steel where low driving voltage is needed to prevent over-protection (coating disbondment, hydrogen embrittlement).

Working principle

High-purity zinc (≥ 99.995%) corrodes preferentially via galvanic action. Lower driving voltage than aluminium/magnesium — safer for high-strength steel that can suffer hydrogen embrittlement under over-protection.

Specifications

Purity
≥ 99.995% Zn
Driving Voltage
ต่ำสุดในกลุ่ม sacrificial / Lowest of the three
Environment
Seawater (low resistivity)

Real-world applications

  • Cargo ship hulls
  • Sea chest, mooring chains
  • Seawater-cooled condensers/heat exchangers
  • Marine steel & aluminium equipment

Benefits & outcomes

  • Low driving voltage reduces over-protection risk
  • Prevents coating disbondment from hydrogen evolution
  • Minimises hydrogen embrittlement in high-strength steel
  • Compliant with MIL-A-18001K and DNV-GL

Industry reference standards

MIL-A-18001K (U.S. Military)DNV-GL (GL-Zn1)ISO 9001
04

Magnesium Sacrificial Anode

CP for high-resistivity environments

Purpose & best fit

Protects structures in freshwater and high-resistivity soil — where aluminium/zinc cannot drive sufficient current. Used for buried pipelines, underground tanks, and freshwater heaters.

Working principle

Magnesium has the lowest electrochemical potential (~−1.55 V) — the highest driving voltage in the sacrificial family. Can push current through high-resistivity electrolytes (freshwater, soil) where Al/Zn cannot.

Specifications

Driving Voltage
สูงสุดในกลุ่ม / Highest of the three
Environment
น้ำจืด, ดิน, high-resistivity electrolyte
Forms
Bagged anodes (สำหรับฝังดิน), Cast slab

Real-world applications

  • Buried pipelines (oil, gas, water)
  • Underground storage tanks (USTs)
  • Hot-water heater steel tanks
  • Freshwater structures (dams, lakes)

Benefits & outcomes

  • Highest driving voltage — works in high-resistivity media
  • Suited to Thai soils which often have elevated resistivity
  • No external power source needed
  • Bagged form simplifies underground installation

Industry reference standards

ASTM B843NACE SP0169 (CP of underground systems)

Single-Component Moisture-Curing Polyurethane Primer

Industrial Coating — Rust Prevention

Purpose & best fit

One-part moisture-curing polyurethane primer that cures via atmospheric humidity. Functions as primer, intermediate coat, topcoat, or single-layer finish. Contains aluminium flake for barrier protection.

Working principle

Isocyanate groups in the resin react with airborne moisture (H₂O) to form urea crosslinks, curing into a hard film. Aluminium flakes align in lamellar pattern, blocking water and oxygen ingress.

Specifications

System
1K Moisture-Curing Polyurethane (MCP)

Application
แปรง / ลูกกลิ้ง / airless spray
Substrates
เหล็ก, เหล็กชุบกัลวาไนซ์, เหล็กสนิม, อลูมิเนียม, คอนกรีต, ไม้, พลาสติก

Real-world applications

  • Tanks, vessels, factory steel piping
  • Steel structures with existing rust (no need for SA 2½ blast)
  • Plant maintenance touch-ups without shutting down production
  • Tight-access steelwork — brush-applicable

Benefits & outcomes

  • Apply over existing rust — no full sand-blast to SA 2½ required
  • Single-component eliminates mixing error and pot-life concerns
  • Faster work cycle and curing time vs. 2K epoxy systems
  • Chemical- and UV-resistant

Solvent-Free Two-Component Epoxy (Underwater-Applicable)

Industrial Coating — Underwater Repair

Purpose & best fit

Two-component solvent-free epoxy applicable directly to wet, damp, or fully submerged surfaces. For structures that cannot be dry-docked or fully dried before repair.

Working principle

Solvent-free epoxy chemistry — does not need to displace moisture; it incorporates surface water into the polymer matrix. Provides simultaneous resistance to acids, alkalis, amines, salts, and solvents.

Specifications

System
2-component solvent-free epoxy
Recommended DFT

  • Underwater pier repair, submerged piling
  • Treatment ponds, acid/alkali process equipment
  • On-stream repair without shutting down machinery

Benefits & outcomes

  • Broad chemical resistance (acid, alkali, amine, salt, solvent)
  • Brush/roller-applied — no separate primer required

Common Questions

Before you send an RFQ

Q1.How does Cathodic Protection work?+
Uses anode (zinc/aluminum/magnesium) as sacrificial — corrodes before the protected steel. Bonding cable + structure-to-electrolyte potential monitoring per NACE SP0169.
Q2.Zinc vs Aluminum vs Magnesium anode — which?+
Zinc: sea water, economical. Aluminum: brackish water. Magnesium: soil + freshwater, highest driving voltage. Choose by environment.
Q3.Anode replacement interval?+
Depends on design weight + corrosion rate — typically 5-15 years. Inspect residual annually, replace at <30% residual (NACE recommendation).
Q4.Is SP10 surface prep really required before coating?+
Yes for marine + structural steel — SSPC-SP 10 (near-white blast) gives best adhesion. General work SP 6 (commercial) suffices. Rushed jobs SP 3 (power tool).
Q5.Bio Tough+ vs standard epoxy — difference?+
Bio Tough+ has integral cathodic protection coating — extends steel life 2-3x. Standard epoxy is barrier-only. Worth it for hard-to-access structures (offshore towers).
