ISOLINE STANDARD MAGNESIUM ANODES

Standard Magnesium Anodes
Magnesium Anodes are used to apply Cathodic Protection to a variety of structures. To provide a wide selection they are manufactured in a comprehensive range of shapes and sizes. The magnesium is available in two grades, BAC ISOROD, high purity and BAC ISOMAG The latter are primarily for use in high resistivity soils. Performance can be improved by retaining moisture thus reducing the resistivity of the electrolyte local to the anode. To help do this, pipeline anodes can be supplied packaged in a cotton bag containing a backfill of Gypsum, Bentonite and Sodium Sulphate. Alternatively the backfill can be provided loose, in a variety of compositions, for site application. Standard Backfill Composition: Powdered Gypsum 75% Granular Bentonite 20% Sodium Sulphate 5% The anode and backfill are contained in a cotton bag.
