Anodes
The purity of the anodes is 99% ZINC. The submerged parts of the boat propeller shaft, rudder, keel, stems ... are protected from electrolytic corrosion by anodes. Elestrolítica corrosion, also called electrolysis, is a deterioration of metal caused by the formation of an electric current between dissimilar metals submerged potential: the metal of lower potential (anode) is decomposed in place of most potential metal (metal parts called also cathodes) Plastimo Anodes meet the standards ISO 9002 and follow a rigorous control. Zinc anodes are made from a high purity zinc, guarantee an excellent real protection. The nature of water where the boat is moored affect the action of the anode. The choice of the anode is made taking into account these factors: - Salt water: zinc anode. - Freshwater: mangensio anode. - Brackish water: aluminum anode.
