MasterProtect 8065CP 8105CP 8150CP
Embedded Galvanic Anode for the Protection of Reinforcing Steel
How Does MasterProtect 8065CP/8105CP/8160CP Work?
MasterProtect 8065CP/8105CP/8160CP Galvanic Anodes are engineered discrete zinc anodes encased in a proprietary mortar. Integral galvanised tie wires permit easy connection to concrete reinforcement. As a key component of a complete concrete repair strategy, the sacrificial zinc core generates a small electrical current as it is consumed, protecting the reinforcing steel from accelerated corrosion.
Recommended Uses:
Where reinforced concrete or masonry structures will be repaired (interior or exterior)
Where chlorides are present in the structure
Wherever corrosion of reinforcing steel is possible in post-tensioned, pre-stressed, or conventionally reinforced structures

What Are the Benefits of MasterProtect 8065CP/8105CP/8160CP?
Chelation Driven System - prevents re-passivation of the zinc, optimises service life
Lower pH mortar - non-caustic, safe to handle
High-grade ASTM B418 type II zinc alloy - prolonged shelf life; reduced tendency toward degradation
Pre-twisted tie wires - proper stand-off from reinforcing steel, ensures optimal current throw, fast, easy installation
Increased zinc surface area - optimises anode performance, extends service life; up to 50% more efficient than other anodes of the same zinc weight
Generates small current as it deteriorates, to protect reinforcing steel - extends service life and reduces maintenance costs
Enhanced elimination of reaction by-products - anode reactivates after wet/dry cycles, longer service life
Not affected by carbonation or auto-corrosion - greater shelf life
