Galvashield CC

Main uses

Galvashield® CC range of embedded galvanic anode units are used to control on-going corrosion and to prevent the initiation of new corrosion activity in concrete structures. Galvashield® CC are alkali-activated (Type 2A), consisting of a sacrificial zinc anode core that is surrounded by a specially formulated cementitious mortar.

Advantages

• Proven Technology - Galvashield has more than 20 years track record in projects worldwide
• Focused protection - discrete anodes can be installed to provide corrosion protection in areas with high corrosion potentials or active corrosion.
• Versatile - effective in chloride-contaminated and carbonated concrete, can be used for both conventionally reinforced and prestressed or post-tensioned concrete.
• User friendly - installation is quick and easy.
• Zero maintenance - requires no external power source or system monitoring.
• Measurable - anode performance can be easily monitored if required.
• Long lasting - 10 to 20 years’ service life* reduces the need for future repairs.

* As with all galvanic protection systems, service life is dependent upon a number of factors including reinforcing steel density, concrete conductivity, chloride concentration, humidity and anode spacing.
