The CASTQ Carbon Quantum Anode Paint is currently applied on 3400 m2 on the parking decks in a parking garage in Berlin - documentation will follow soon...
22 Years of Composite Anode Systems
First application of the Composite Anode System with the CAS-T paint as integral part was realized 1998 in Svolvaer, Oslo. Next installations were realized ona Arc-Bridge (Spittal a. d. Drau, Carinthia (A)) – Hollow-Box Girder Bridge (A7, Uttrichshausen (DE)) – Polder Bridge (Demmerik, Gagelweg (NL)) - Parking Deck (Austrian Central TV Station, Vienna (A)) Since then, in the Netherlands, more than 77 installations have been realized since 2016 (see paper presented by Hans van den Hondel at ICCRRR 2018, see the link below), 5 installations in Germany and 9 installations in Austria. The most representative projects are presented below.

Application on soffits of a parking garage in Rostock, Germany (April - July 2017)
The CAST3+ Composite Anode System was installed on about 700 m² on the soffits of an underground parking garage in Rostock, Herweghstrasse 20, Germany. Following that project, the CAST3+ Composite Anode System will be installed in the underground parking garage of the Deutsche Med on about 2000 m² on soffits, beams and on the parking deck. Both projects are realized by ZÜBLIN, the cathodic corrosion protection systems (CP) - CAST3+ Composite Anode System & MMO-titanium ribbon mesh anode - are installed by iCOR GmbH.
Cooperation with Ed. Züblin
CAS and Ed. Züblin AG concluded a cooperation agreement on the CAST3+ Composite Anode technology. Cooperation will be exclusively in Germany, France, Switzerland and Scandinavia.
History of system
CAS successfully developed a novel conductive paint, based on the since 16 years proven CAS-T+ paint. The novel conductive CAST3+ paint is the 3d step in the development of the CAS composite conductive paints and excels in durability (UV-resistant, high weathering resistance, limited frost-thaw salt resistance), compatibility with a large range of cover coatings including epoxy coatings, high electrical conductivity and superior anode performance. The conductive CAST3+ paint is usually applied in combination with the CAP 60 primer, based on the long time proven alumo-silicate composite paint system. The CAP 60 primer improves the adhesion of the CAST3+ paint, solidifies the concrete surface and increases the ionic conductivity of the concrete. The use of the CAP60 is recommended if high weathering resistance of the Composite Anode is required and is especially recommended for the corrosion protection of steel reinforcements in carbonated concrete.
The CAST3+ composite conductive paint was evaluated along with two other products in a 3 year research project conducted by IBAC (RWTH Aachen) and by BAM (Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, Berlin) and is denominated as CBCC 2.

Reports on application for prestressed concrete beams in higway bridges in the Netherlands
Two independent reports on the application of the CAST3+ composite conductive paint for the cathodic corrosion protection of prestressed concrete beams in 30 highway bridges in the Netherlands were presented at the ICCRRR 2015 in Leipzig.

Application on soffits of a parking garage in Rheinfelden, Germany (November 2014)
The CAST3+ was applied November 2014 by Züblin in a parking garage in Rheinfelden (Baden), Germany.
Application in the Netherlands (2011-2015)
The CAST3+ composite anode systems was applied since 2011 in 9 projects in the Netherlands - sea side appartements, swimming pools, beam heads of 30 highway viaducts, difficult to access concrete members of a bridge abutment, solar powered Composite Anode on a bridge and two parking decks. Details are presented. Projects are realized by Vogel Kathodische Bescherming B.V in cooperation with Corrosion Protection Supplies B.V.
