X SHIELD

X SHIELD is specially designed galvanic anode which is connected to reinforcement steel to protect it from corrosion. This galvanic anode system consists of of a zinc alloy nucleus encapsulated by a unique formulated highly alkaline absorbent material. The anode sacrifices itself during the oxidation process and provides cathodic protection to the reinforcement steel.

X SHIELD galvanic anodes are used to control on-going corrosion and to prevent the initiation of new corrosion activity in reinforced concrete structures. X SHIELD consists of a sacrificial zinc core activated within a specially formulated cementitious mortar. The cylindrical unit, available in a variety of standard sizes, is quickly and easily installed into concrete that is mechanically sound but has existing or potential corrosion activity. Once installed the zinc core corrodes preferentially to the surrounding steel providing active protection.
