Understanding Anodes for Cathodic Corrosion Protection: A Comprehensive Guide Corrosion is a naturally occurring process that can cause significant damage to metal structures, leading to costly repairs and replacements. However, with the right protection and preventative methods, we can significantly slow down and halt this process. One such method is cathodic protection, a technique that…
The Role of Magnesium Drive-In Anodes in Solar Panel Applications In the realm of solar energy, pilons, buried stanchions and metallic post installations. the efficiency and longevity of the infrastructure are paramount. One of the lesser known yet critical components in safeguarding the durability of solar panel systems is the use of cathodic protection,…

In the field of corrosion engineering and cathodic protection, Sacrificial Anodes systems are commonly used. Sacrificial anodes, more electrochemically active than the metals they protect, undergo corrosion preferentially when electrically connected to the structure. This principle of galvanic corrosion protection is a cornerstone of corrosion engineering. However, this Process has typically been a passive system.…
Is your Coastal building and your community protected from the devastating and costly effects of concrete corrosion?
How does one adequately determine the adequacy of your cathodic protection system on a certain structure?
Cathtect offers a Portable Rectifier Unit that may just be the most essential piece of equipment you can add to your CP technician’s toolbox!
Should it be necessary to test the reference electrode prior to installation, it is important not to pre-test the electrode in a bucket of water as in most cases this will void the warranty.
Having trouble selecting the right reference electrode for your application?
Let Cathtect eliminate the guesswork and help you select the right reference electrode for your CP needs!
When choosing which reference electrode chemistry to use, it is important to know the composition of the soil or environment in which your reference electrodes will be installed.
