Al-Zn-In anodesBetter protection in all conditions
The alloy used in our Al-Zn-In anodes is quite different to normal aluminum . The mil-spec alloy includes about 5% Zinc and a trace of Indium to prevent oxidation resulting in a layer reducing the sacrificial properties of the anode.
The Al-Zn-In alloy anodes provides more protection and will last longer than zinc anodes of the same size (up to 50% longer). Another benefit of Al-Zn-In anodes is that their weight is under half the weight of a similar sized zinc anode. The anodes will provide superior support compared to zinc anodes in fresh or brackish water, while still giving excellent pro-tection in salt water - the Al-Zn-In alloy anode is in fact the only anode that is safe for all applications.
Starting June 2010, Al-Zn-In anodes will be fitted as standard to all our thrusters (as our stock of zinc anodes is running out), and all excisting orders for zinc anodes will be converted to Al-Zn-In anodes.
The suffix A will be added to all anode part numbers, please upgrade your price/parts list accordingly.
We will for a limited period of time have a small stock of zinc anodes (for customers with special demands), which can be ordered under the old part numbers, but please take care to specify zinc anodes on a separate line in your order to avoid getting the order converted into the new standard Al-Zn-In anodes.

Thruster systems
Several factors determine the type of cathodic protection to be used, one of the important factors is the environment in which the vessel is operating. Not every anode is suitable/optimal for every environment. Zinc anodes used in fresh or brackish water can develop aes used in fresh or brackish water can develop aes used in fresh or brackish water n oxidation layer which seals the anode and prevent the anode to sacri ce properly.
We want to stress that we have never had any problems with zinc anodes in fresh water, but the market is changing and now we are receiving requests for aluminium anodes suitable for vessels operating in fresh water.
Chemical composition:The aluminium anode is of a AlZnIn type material (Aluminium/Zinc/Indium).
