Sahawatthanakit (1988) supplies and sizes full-line Galvanic Cathodic Protection (CP) and sacrificial anodes — Concrete · Aluminium · Zinc · Magnesium Anode — anodes Thai-made to ISO 9001:2015 / TIS, with CP systems designed to DNV-RP-B401 and ISO 12696. Used in shipbuilding and ship repair (hulls, sea chests), structure and building repair (rebar in concrete), piers and river bridges — public and private projects nationwide. Anodes are sacrificial by design, so they are replaced on each maintenance / dry-docking cycle. Based in Nonthaburi, with nationwide delivery. We supply the parts only and do not take installation work — your own contractor fits them and we send the mounting details. Send your site conditions and sizes in chat for a quote right away.

Standards & Certifications

Cathodic protection systems designed per ISO 12696:2022 (concrete reinforcement) and NACE SP0169 (pipeline external corrosion) — the standards cited in EGAT / SRT / MEA / PEA TOR plus port and bridge projects in Thailand. The anodes we supply are for water immersion and concrete embedment only — buried/soil work is out of scope: zinc to MIL-A-18001K/GL-Zn1, aluminium to TIS 3359-2565 + DNV-RP-B401, magnesium (condenser anode) to ASTM G-97, concrete anode to TIS 3029-2563 + ISO 12696. Current capacities are on the product pages. ICCP MMO anodes run 20+ years at DC 1-50 A. Every installation includes a Cu/CuSO₄ reference electrode (per NACE TM0211) plus ON/OFF potential testing every 6 months per ISO 15589-1.

Shipyard dry dock — the four sacrificial anode metals we supply laid out on a pallet before a ship's hull (concrete mortar pucks, aluminium slab, zinc bolt-on block, bored magnesium disc) with an engineer checking them (render of the product group, not a photo of stock or a job)

4 anode metals
for every water

Why buy anodes from us
  • • All four galvanic cathodic protection metals — concrete, aluminium, zinc and magnesium — selected by the water the structure sits in, not by what is in stock
  • • Inspect, protect, then verify: 3D LiDAR scanning locates the delamination and corroding rebar, the CP system is sized to those findings, and a repeat scan tracks it over time
  • • SAHA supplies and sizes CP systems to DNV-RP-B401 / ISO 12696 — anodes manufactured in Thailand under ISO 9001:2015 · supply only, we do not take installation work
  • • Full standards pack: TIS 3029-2563 / 3359-2565 · ISO 12696 · ASTM B418 · NACE · DNV · AMPP — accepted in Thai government tenders
  • • Delivered to State Railway of Thailand, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, Department of Highways, Royal Thai Navy Supply Department and Royal Thai Air Force — 38 years in business
Corrosion protection 1 — cathodic protection (sacrificial anode)

Four sacrificial anode metals — chosen by the environment

Galvanic cathodic protection stops corrosion at the electrochemical level, extending structure life by 25–50 years against an epoxy repair that returns in 5–7 · our engineers size the system and write the specification for the tender.

The shapes we supply, and which metal suits which job

Everything below is taken from what the manufacturer publishes itself — shapes, standards and electrical figures. The size and weight table for each anode sits with that anode further down (Aluminium · Zinc); other sizes are cast to your drawing.

Pick the metal from the water the steel sits in

Choosing the wrong metal is a leading reason anodes fail to protect even when fitted correctly — this table is the manufacturer's own answer.

EnvironmentMetal to useWhy
SeawaterZinc or aluminiumLow resistivity, so both deliver current well — aluminium gives more capacity per kilogram
Brackish waterAluminiumZinc tends to grow a thick oxide film in brackish water and stops delivering current
Fresh water / very low salinityMagnesiumHigh resistivity needs a high driving potential — aluminium passivates in these conditions
Embedded in concreteConcrete anode (zinc core in alkaline mortar)The alkaline mortar casing is required, or the zinc passivates inside the concrete
Standing in open airNo anode works at allA cathodic system needs all four elements (cathode · anode · a metallic current path · an electrolyte) — air is far too resistive to act as an electrolyte, so this is a coating job instead

Before you fit them — the manufacturer's own guidance

  • Welding is better than bolting — a bolt that works loose degrades the electrical connection, and the steel starts rusting again
  • Bolted types should have a rubber backing pad, or insulating paint on the back face only, so the mating face does not corrode until the anode falls off
  • Never paint over the whole block — an anode fully covered in paint cannot deliver any protective current at all
  • Check the system is actually working in one of two ways: measure the potential against a reference electrode, or confirm there is no rust within the protected radius
  • Aluminium-hulled vessels are generally best served by zinc anodes — the wrong choice risks severe hull corrosion, so ask before ordering

Not in the size tables? We cast to your drawing

Advertising a size in advance and then shipping something different wastes more of everyone's time than asking first. Send the size, the drawing or a photo of the anode you removed, and tell us how it is fixed (welded, bolted, tie-wired or shaft-mounted) — our engineer will size it and quote. A minimum production quantity applies to special sizes.

Concrete Sacrificial Anode

Rebar in concrete — bridges, piers, coastal buildings, piles
Strength

A zinc core cast into an alkaline mortar (pH ≥14) stops corrosion electrochemically rather than sealing the surface over it — throwing distance ≥60 cm, design life ≥10 years, manufactured in Thailand so there is no import lead time

Who it suits

Tenders and projects that need written specification and a standards pack — compare the lifecycle cost against an epoxy repair that returns in 5–7 years

Concrete sacrificial anodes in four sizes, smallest to largest — round mortar pucks around a zinc core with two free stainless tie-wire tails for the rebar — studio render of the shape
Concrete Anode (CR series) — manufactured in Thailand

A zinc core encased in a special mortar containing lithium hydroxide at pH ≥ 14, which keeps the zinc from passivating so it goes on delivering current

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

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

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

Zinc (anode Zn ≥ 99.314%, cast from 99.995% ingot) 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

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

04

Magnesium Sacrificial Anode

CP for high-resistivity environments

Purpose & best fit

Protects structures in high-resistivity fresh water — where aluminium/zinc cannot drive sufficient current. Used for barges, pontoons and freshwater heaters. Buried pipelines and underground tanks are outside what SAHA supplies.

Working principle

Magnesium has the lowest electrochemical potential (~−1.55 V) — the highest driving voltage in the sacrificial family. It can push current through high-resistivity electrolytes where Al/Zn cannot; we supply it for fresh water, not for buried work.

Specifications

Driving Voltage
สูงสุดในกลุ่ม / Highest of the three
Environment

Real-world applications

  • Barges · pontoons · river craft
  • Condensers and heat exchangers on the fresh-water side
  • Hot-water heater steel tanks
  • Fresh-water structures (dams, lakes)

Benefits & outcomes

  • Highest driving voltage — works in high-resistivity media
  • For low-conductivity fresh water; buried work is outside what we supply
  • No external power source needed
  • Available bare or plastisol-coated

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.

  • 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.

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: seawater. Aluminum: seawater and brackish water, the highest capacity. Magnesium (condenser anode): fresh and very brackish water, the highest driving potential. Choose by the water the structure sits in. Sahawatthanakit supplies anodes for water immersion and concrete embedment only; buried/soil work is out of scope.
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.CP-integrated coating vs standard epoxy — difference?+
A coating with integral cathodic protection extends steel life 2-3x. Standard epoxy is barrier-only. Worth it for hard-to-access structures (offshore towers).
Q6.Steel parts rust during sea-freight export — how to prevent it?+
Use VCI (vapor corrosion inhibitor) packaging — VCI film (wrap/cover steel plate, coil, structures; line container interiors) or VCI bag (machined/marine parts — protects bores, recesses and threads that oil can't reach). Nitrite-free: no oil to apply, no wash-off before use. Add a desiccant sachet for a second moisture layer. Sizing/type selection per part + export packing guidance included — quote-only, send the part and volume.

An Invoice of 107,000 Baht Pays 104,000 Into the Bank — Thai Withholding Tax Is Computed on the Pre-VAT Base

Thai withholding tax is always computed on the amount before VAT. A service invoice of 100,000 baht plus 7% VAT totals 107,000, but the 3% withholding applies to the 100,000 base — 3,000 baht — so 104,000 is what actually arrives. Why computing it on the gross total skews every invoice in the same direction, why services are withheld on but pure goods sales generally are not, and why the withheld money is not lost, only slow.
