MasterShield CP 8065/8105/8150

Embedded Galvanic Anode for the Protection of Reinforcing Steel

How Does MasterShield CP 8065/8105/8150 Work?

MasterShield CP 8065/8105/8150 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 MasterShield CP 8065/8105/8150?

• 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
