PatchGuard Connect

PatchGuard™ Connect anodes are specified to protect un-spalled areas of concrete that are at risk of corrosion. The anodes are connected in series with a titanium connecting wire, enabling large areas to be protected with minimal breakout.

The PatchGuard Difference

PatchGuard™ Connect anodes are specified to protect un-spalled areas of concrete that are at risk of corrosion. The anodes are connected in series with a titanium connecting wire, enabling large areas to be protected with minimal breakout. PatchGuard™ Connect anodes can be used in conjunction with standard PatchGuard™ anodes placed within patch repairs.

PatchGuard™ Connect anodes are installed into contaminated areas of reinforced concrete, identified as being at risk of corrosion, by simply drilling 25mm diameter holes and embedding the anodes in DuoCrete PG mortar. These are then connected in strings of up to 40 anodes using titanium wire, recessed in saw cuts, and connected at each end to the reinforcing steel. The system is discrete with no surface wiring or permanent control systems and is totally vandal proof.

Low Maintenance Corrosion Protection

70% of repairs deteriorate within 10 years. Why? The answer is simple. These repairs do not address the underlying problem: corrosion. As an owner, it can be frustrating to invest in repairs, only for the area surrounding the new repairs to show corrosion damage shortly afterwards.

PatchGuard™ Connect anodes are a purely galvanic cathodic protection system. The galvanic (or sacrificial) anodes act by corroding favourably to the steel, reacting to corrosion threats whilst supplying a protective current that counters the initiation of corrosion. Corrosion of the anode is non-expansive and does not negatively impact the structure. PatchGuard™ Connect technology is a long-term low maintenance solution.
