Tecnoseal sacrificial anodes combat electrolytic corrosion, protecting metals immersed in seawater, brackish water, or fresh water. Certified materials and advanced Made in Italy technology ensure maximum durability.
Tecnoseal is world’s leading manufacturer of sacrificial anodes for cathodic protection against galvanic currents in the leisure boat market, and for shipping, offshore and industrial applications.
Their use is required to prevent corrosion of metals immersed in an electrolytic solution.
Seawater, brackish, or fresh water constitute the three primary natural electrolytes under which Tecnoseal operates with cathodic protection.
Any metal, when immersed within an electrolyte, undergoes a natural process transforming it over time into one of its oxides (iron will become iron oxide), thus impairing its electrochemical and mechanical characteristics.
Cathodic protection aims at sizing sacrificial elements (anodes) that by their constitutive nature, when applied in direct contact with an immersed metal, will form a galvanic couple regulated by an oxide-reduction reaction, slowing down the metal’s corrosion speed over time as opposed to fast consumption of the sacrificial element (anode).
With over 30 years of experience, we manufacture Zinc, Aluminum and Magnesium anodes in our foundry in Grosseto (Tuscany), with the record to date as the producer of the widest range of anodes in the world: almost 2000 items as standard production and more than 3000 custom manufactured items specifically requested by customers.
The official Tecnoseal catalogue is the most comprehensive in the world in terms of products, making it an essential reference for shipyards, dealers and anyone dealing with cathodic protection.
Tecnoseal Foundry offers all the products in the catalogue in the three anodic alloys: Zinc, Aluminum and Magnesium.
Tecnoseal Foundry guarantees all products comply with alloy specifications.
By conducting spectrometric measurements in line with a specific cadence, the product is guaranteed to be compliant with the anodic alloy characteristic.

Choosing Tecnoseal will offer you the advantage of a reliable partner supplying a product always in compliance with alloy specifications.
The wide range of its products all “made in ltaly” as well as its efficient sales and logistics department make Tecnoseal the best partner to rely on for cathodic protection.
In addition to the products in the catalogue, Tecnoseal can supply all kinds of custom solutions in the field of cathodic protection.
The technical department and the workshop always pay special attention to commercial requests requiring highly custom solutions to be identified.
Tecnoseal is the only manufacturer in the world whose zinc-based anodic alloy conforms to DNV RP B401 and is completely environmentally sustainable as cadmium (Cd)-free.
The new alloy (Bi-Tee®) is a product designed and patented by Tecnoseal.
Compliance with DNV RP B401 has been validated at the laboratories of the Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering “Giulio Natta” of the Polytechnic of Milan.
All anodes in the catalogue can be manufactured according to the new alloy specification.
