Zinc Sacrificial Anodes
FOR HULLS (BOLTED AND WELDED)

Zinc sacrificial hull anodes from the Deepwater MPE foundry can be manufactured in a wide variety of configurations, either to be welded or bolted on. All "standard" configurations are shown below. In addition to these, Deepwater Gaus can cast anodes to any size or chemical composition specifications required. Please contact us for advice on optimizing an anode to suit your specific requirements (aluminium also offered).
