Vetus BOA021Z Zinc Plane Hull Anode 0.91 kg
The Vetus BOA021Z is a compact rectangular plane hull anode engineered for effective cathodic protection of underwater metal components on vessels operating in saltwater and brackish environments. Zinc anodes are recommended for these conditions due to their stable electrochemical behavior and controlled consumption rate. This anode is manufactured from high-purity zinc in accordance with MIL-A-18001K specifications, ensuring consistent and dependable corrosion protection.
Zinc anodes are best suited for saltwater use and provide long-lasting protection against galvanic corrosion on hulls, shafts, propellers, and other submerged metal parts. While aluminium anodes are more efficient in freshwater, zinc remains the preferred solution for marine and mixed-water environments. The BOA021Z is designed for bolt-on installation and offers a low-profile form factor suitable for medium-sized vessels and localized protection zones.
