The Galvashield® XP range of embedded galvanic anodes are used to mitigate ring anode corrosion when repairing reinforced concrete structures. Designed for optimum performance and ease of installation, the alkali-activated (Type 1A) anodes are comprised of high purity zinc cast around a steel tie wire with an enhanced formulated cement-based mortar with an internal pH of 14 or greater that keeps the zinc active over the life of the anode. The Galvashield® XP range of anodes utilize the contractor-friendly One-and-Done™ single-wire connection. Once installed, the zinc anode corrodes to provide galvanic protection to adjacent reinforcing steel.
