Mapeshield I

Mapeshield I

Pure Zinc Galvanic Anode

Mapeshield I is a pure zinc anode for cathodic protection of reinforcing steel against corrosion in new, reinforced structures as well as structures requiring repair.

  • Available in lengths of 10 cm and 30 cm
  • Available in five different weights of active zinc content
  • Long-lasting delivery of protective current*
  • Surrounded by a special conductive paste, Mapeshield I anodes provide sufficient current to be anodic to the reinforcing steel and lower in electric resistance than other anodes that have solid, thick cementitious shells.
  • An optimized design that maximizes the available surface area of the zinc plates
  • Compliance with international standard ISO 12696, “Cathodic Protection of Steel in Concrete”
  • Quick and easy installation with no special tools needed
  • Does not require a low-resistivity mortar packed around the anode when a high-resistivity repair mortar is utilized
  • Can be used with concrete and concrete repair mortars with resistivities up to 100 kΩ, as specified by EN 12696 standards
* Protective current is influenced greatly by amount of chlorides in the existing concrete as well as rebar density in the structure.
