Bagged Zinc Earthing Cell
Regarded as an earthing cell, zinc rod is commonly pre-packaged in the cotton bag filled with low resistivity backfill. Typically, two zinc anode units will be packed together —— one is connected to the protected structure, and the other is connected to an earthing device.

Quality Substrate Material
Our zinc anode is made from special high grade (SHG) zinc ingots with 99.995% purity. It is produced according to ASTM-B418 type I and type II alloy standards. The high-purity composition ensures the anode material is more resistant to passive films. Type I is generally used in seawater or brackish water, while Type II is used in underground and fresh water applications.
| Element | ASTM – B418 Type I | ASTM – B418 Type II |
| Aluminum (Al) | 0.1~0.5% | 0.005% max. |
| Lead (Pb) | 0.006% max. | 0.003% max. |
| Iron (Fe) | 0.005% max. | 0.0014% max. |
| Copper (Cu) | 0.005% max. | 0.002% max. |
| Cadmium (Cd) | 0.025% ~ 0.07% | 0.003% max. |
| Total Impurities | 0.1% max. | 0.1% max. |

High Current Output
Our zinc earthing rod anode can provide even distribution of current density to the cathode. Its self-regulating current output will not cause nor magnify stray currents present. With more than 90% current efficiency, its performance meets the highest industry standards.
