With this, it is possible to supply different places in the world with merchandise that are not produced in those lands, connecting more cultures and promoting trade.
The participation of non-ferrous metals in this field comes into action due to oxidation, which affects different parts of the ships. This is where the application of zinc anodes, which are used to protect these parts from corrosion and oxidation, is necessary.
Zinc anodes further extend the life of submerged structures in the water, such as steel pylons, metal floats, pontoons, etc.
Oxidation affects vessels, as well as maritime and river transport as a whole. For this reason, zinc anodes are used to protect vessels from corrosion and oxidation.
