Galvashield® XP

Galvashield® XP anode series, the original embedded galvanic anode for concrete repair, are used to mitigate ring anode corrosion or the halo effect when repairing reinforced concrete. Designed for optimum performance and ease of installation, the alkali-activated (Type 1A) anodes are comprised of high purity zinc cast around a steel tie wire with an enhanced formulated cement-based mortar with an internal pH of 14 or greater that keeps the zinc active over the life of the anode.

Galvashield® XP anodes are available in 5 different sizes to fit any repair and provide a range of spacing options. The Galvashield XP anode is quickly and easily installed along the interface between new and existing concrete and tied to the exposed rebar using the One-and-Done™ single wire connection. Once installed, the zinc anode corrodes preferentially to protect the adjacent reinforcing steel.
