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 Fosroc Galvashield® is the original embedded galvanic anode with an extensive 20 year track record.
• Long Lasting – Up to 20 years service life* reduces the need for future repairs.
• Focused protection - discrete anodes can be installed to provide corrosion protection in areas with high corrosion potentials or active corrosion.
• Type 1A anode - Alkali-activated to maintain activity of zinc, meets building code requirements that prohibit intentionally added constituents that are corrosive to reinforcement within the repair area
• Steel Connection wires - Provides dependable steel-to-steel contact with no intermediate materials such as galvanizing that may compromise the long-term electrical connection.
• Economical - save money by targeting only the remaining areas of high corrosive risk.
• Versatile - effective in chloride-contaminated and carbonated concrete. Can be used for both conventionally reinforced and pre-stressed or posttensioned concrete.
• Low Maintenance - Requires no external power source or system monitoring.
• Measurable - Anode performance can be monitored.
