Vetus RAD90Z Rudder Disc Zinc Anode Ø90 mm
The Vetus RAD90Z is a disc-type zinc anode designed for installation on marine rudders. Manufactured from high-quality zinc in accordance with U.S. MIL-A-18001K specifications, this anode provides reliable cathodic protection against galvanic corrosion in saltwater and brackish water environments.
Zinc anodes are recommended for vessels operating in salt or brackish water, where electrical resistance is low and effective corrosion protection is required. In freshwater environments, aluminium anodes are typically preferred due to their higher potential difference. The disc profile of the RAD90Z allows direct mounting on rudder surfaces while maintaining a streamlined form. With a height of 18 mm and an outer diameter of 90 mm, it delivers increased protective mass with controlled hydrodynamic impact.
Key Features
- Disc-type zinc anode for rudder installation
