Electrode Zinc Rod

Whatsapp Order

Electrode Zinc Rod is a high-purity cylindrical zinc metal rod designed for use as an electrode in electrochemical cells, corrosion protection systems, and industrial electrolysis. Known for its excellent electrical conductivity and sacrificial anode properties, zinc rods protect metal structures from corrosion by preferentially oxidizing. These rods are widely used in laboratory experiments, galvanic cells, battery systems, and cathodic protection of pipelines and tanks. Manufactured with uniform diameter and smooth surface finish, Zinc Rods are reliable components in both research and industrial applications.
