CANODE

Embedded sacrificial Galvanic Anode for corrosion protection of reinforcement in concrete

Canode is an unique galvanic anode unit based on special zinc encased in a specially formulated conductive
mortar which prevents and controls corrosion of reinforcement steel.

Mechanism of action: When Canode is connected to steel reinforcement, zinc being nobler element corrodes
in preference to steel.

TYPICAL APPLICATION
 In repair & rehabilitation of concrete structures, slabs, columns, beams
 Marine structures
 Water retaining structures
 Industrial units
 Coastal structures

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
 Remove the loose concrete from around and behind of all corroding reinforcement.
 Thoroughly wires brush the reinforcement to remove loose rust & rust stains.
 Soak the Canode units in clean water for 20-30 minutes before installing.
 Fasten the tie wires of Canode using pliers on the side or beneath the rebar to prevent free movement.
 Ensure proper connection under expert supervision.

Spacing: As per designer’s / specifier’s recommendation.
