MG Duff
Sacrificial Anodes for Marine Cathodic Protection

MGDUFF has been at the forefront of marine cathodic protection, including sacrificial anodes, since the early 1950’s. MGDUFF continues to be one of the largest suppliers of systems and services to the marine market in the UK and throughout the world.

The company's involvement in corrosion control spans all aspects of the marine sector from the leisure boat market to commercial deep sea shipping and coastal and shoreline structures such as piling, jetties, lock and dock gates, linkspans and pontoon systems.

MGDUFF has an experienced technical department and offers full design services and technical support as well as providing the most comprehensive range of sacrificial anodes and impressed current cathodic protection systems.

MME
One of the specialities of the MME group is corrosion control by means of Cathodic Protection.

As steel is the most widely used material for marine structures such as ships, offshore platforms, undersea pipelines, lock gates etc. some form of corrosion protection is necessary in order to ensure a reasonable lifetime for these investments.

Since MME started, more than 3.500.000 anodes were supplied for the cathodic protection of ships, quay walls, jetties, lock gates and offshore installations.
The availability of more than 80 different types of standard anodes in zinc and aluminium alloys and the facility to make moulds for specifically dimensioned non standard anodes enables us to protect your investment to the optimum.

Z-Guard
Z-Guard® anodes are produced in the South of England. We pride ourselves on quality and all our anodes are cast to the highest possible standards of both appearance and specification. The alloy from which the zinc anodes are produced is in accordance with the US Military Specification No 18001K, which is the accepted standard worldwide. Aluminium anodes are produced to the recommended Al/Zn/In type and in accordance with U.S. MIL-A-24779

Corrosion may be defined as the deterioration of a metal due to a reaction with its environment. For corrosion to occur areas with differentelectrical potentials must exist on the metal surface. An electrical current with flow between water and fittings made of different metals causing some of them to corrode away. On wooden and GRP boats the propeller shaft, p-bracket and skin fitting are at risk, while on a steel hulled vessel the whole underwater area is vunerable to costly and potentially dangerous damage.

Hull anodes are used and designed to prevent corrosion of the entire immersed steel hull area including exposed shafts, brackets, rudders and propellers.

Performance Metals
Performance Metals was launched in November 2002 by SciCast International, Inc., an established U.S. die-casting company that has been in business in Pennsylvania since 1959.

Performance Metals entered the boating market as a supplier of aluminum/indium anodes for Mercury outdrive units, satisfying a need that had not been available before. Performance Metals is an independent company, with full engineering, tooling and manufacturing resources.

Aluminum/indium sacrificial anode alloy (Navalloy®) is not the same as the aluminum used in outdrives etc. It contains 5% zinc and a trace of indium, which ensures that it corrodes to protect the boat’s metal components.

Since its inception two years ago, Performance Metals has consistently introduced new concepts and changed the sacrificial anode business:

Performance Metals has an uncompromising commitment to quality:

Corrosion Prevention With Teeth

Tecnoseal

We are a foundry with more than 20 years of experience in the field of cathodic protection wich is the natural remedy against iron and other metals corrosion in marine and underground environment. The used technique consists in polarizing the structure to be protected by making it cathodic, changing the potential to the corrosion immunity.

This could be realized by two alternatives:

Thanks to anode alloy quality which is on the basis of this application, by fusion of particular alloys containing high quality metals in fair proportion, a pile (anode) with high efficiency is obtained.

About the production of anodes (passive cathodic protection) in Zinc, Aluminium And Magnesium, TECNOSEAL with its know-how covers a wide range of activities as: projects, consultancy for Marine and Industrial cathodic, protection system application included refineries, projects and cathodic protection system for concrete buildings and steel structures, aqueducts and pipe-line.

Invicta
The team at Invicta Anodes located in the south east of England have over 20 years experience in manufacturing zinc and aluminium sacrificial anodes we cater for all marine environments, from leisure craft, shipping, jetties through to off shore constructions.

We can produce an extensive range of standard anodes and as a producer have the flexibility to produce non standard items to your own requirements, all our materials are produced from the highest grades of zinc and aluminium and accurately alloyed to the correct specification, minor variations can have a dramatic effect to the effectiveness of the anodes and worst have an effect to not protecting your vessel or structure.

We pride our selves on the quality of our products and follow to strict procedures through out the production process and show full traceability on all of our products, we have allocated melting furnaces to each type alloy type to prevent any contamination from other metals.
