Fonp nautical anodes

FONP marine anodes are essential components for the cathodic protection of boats, helping prevent galvanic corrosion of metals immersed in water, such as hulls, engines, and other metal components. These anodes are often made of specific materials such as zinc, aluminum , or magnesium , depending on the type of water the boat navigates.

Why choose FONP nautical anodes?

1. High quality materials
   FONP produces anodes with pure and tested materials to ensure effective protection and optimal durability.

   • Zinc : Ideal for salt water.
   • Aluminum : Perfect for brackish or mixed water.
   • Magnesium : Recommended for fresh water.

2. Effective protection against galvanic corrosion
   FONP anodes wear out before the metals they protect, preventing costly damage to crucial components such as:

   • Outboard and inboard engines .
   • Axles and propellers .
   • Rudders and flaps .
   • Metal hulls or other immersed parts.

3. Ease of installation
   FONP anodes are designed for quick and easy installation. They are available in various shapes (plates, discs, bars) and sizes to suit any type of vessel.

4. Long lasting
   Thanks to the quality of the materials and rigorous production controls, FONP anodes ensure long-lasting and reliable protection , reducing the frequency of replacements.

5. Certification and compliance
   FONP anodes comply with the main international standards in terms of purity and performance, such as:

   • MIL-A-18001K (for zinc anodes).
   • EN 12496 (for aluminium anodes).

Types of FONP anodes

1. Zinc anodes

   • Use: Salt water.
   • Examples: Propellers, shafts, engines, flaps and hulls.

2. Aluminum anodes

   • Use: Brackish water (mixed between fresh and salt water).
   • Advantage: Reduced weight and superior strength.

3. Magnesium anodes

   • Use: Fresh water.
   • Function: Optimal corrosion protection in less conductive environments.

When to replace nautical anodes?

• Anodes must be replaced when they are worn more than 50% .
• The frequency depends on the type of water and the use of the boat, but it is good practice to check them during seasonal maintenance.
