These galvanic anodes are ideal for infrastructure such as <strong>pipelines, storage tanks, gas and water networks<\/strong>, and other metal structures in direct contact with soil or water. <\/p>\n<p>Magnesium anodes act as a <strong>&#8220;sacrificial&#8221; metal<\/strong>. When connected to the metal structure to be protected, they corrode in a controlled manner, transferring corrosion from the base metal to the anode. This process <strong>extends the service life of the structure<\/strong>, preventing failures and metal degradation. The effectiveness of magnesium anodes is due to their high electrochemical potential, which is ideal for high-resistivity soils.   <\/p>\n<h6><b>Features of Magnesium Anodes:<\/b><\/h6>\n<p>Composition: Mg 92% &#8211; Al 5% min. 7% max. &#8211; Zn 2% min. 4% max. &#8211; Si 0.3% &#8211; Cu 0.1% &#8211; Mn 0.15% &#8211; Fe 0.003% &#8211; Ni 0.003%<br \/>\nStandard models: 2 kg, 2.3 kg, 3 kg, 4 kg, 5 kg, 7.5 kg, 10 kg and 15 kg.<br \/>\nSoil potential: -1.5 V (Cu\/CuSO4)<br \/>\nConsumption: 7.1 kg\/A.year  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Backfill mix:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe anode is coated with a backfill mix composed of the following elements:<br \/>\nGypsum, bentonite and sodium sulphate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cable and Connection:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe cable used is a cathodic protection type from 2.5 mm\u00b2 to 16 mm\u00b2.
