Prevention of incipient anodes induced by patch repair by a novel type of discrete galvanic zinc anodes

A novel type of discrete galvanic zinc anode is presented that is composed of a novel type of composite zinc mesh embedded into a proprietary matrix that solidifies into an electrolyte with ion exchange properties. The combination of the novel composite zinc anode and the solid matrix containing additives that prevent passivation of the zinc anode assures high and durable galvanic activity of the discrete galvanic zinc anode.
