Dependable

Zinc anodes have, for many decades, been a mainstay choice of anode for the effective and economical prevention of corrosion on metallic structures. Most suited to low-resistivity soil environments, zinc anodes provide an evenly distributed output that ensures permanent or intentionally temporary protection in a variety of situations. Corrosion Service offers a range of high quality zinc anodes that have undergone technologically advanced production techniques, to maintain a consistent chemical composition. This technique yields an anode which, due to its purity, can produce a higher level of cathodic protection current than standard anodes, to more efficiently and effectively prevent corrosion.

Flexible

Ensuring that materials arrive on site safely, on time and within budget requires precision, dedication and a high level of coordination. Corrosion Service is dedicated to meeting customers’ expectations in this regard and this is why we continue to invest in our supply chain systems and processes. Operating from hub locations on the East and West coasts of North America, our supply chain program is built upon a strong backbone of industry-leading Enterprise Resource Planning software and dedicated professionals. This infrastructure provides us with an unrivaled ability to dispatch in-stock items at short notice to any project in the world and provide project focused storage solutions that reduce risk.
