SILICON IRON ANODES DATASHEET

ROD TYPE 1.8


Si/Fe ANODES
A comprehensive range of BAC Silicon Iron Anodes
is available in Rod & Tubular forms to suit impressed
current Cathodic Protection of pipelines, tanks and
marine structures.

Resistance to corrosion from a wide range of


corrosive environments has resulted in the extensive
use of standard 14.5% silicon iron alloy with 4.5%
added chrome. More than 40 years of experience
in the Cathodic Protection industry has given this
material a fully proven performance record.
