Magnesium
Sacrificial Anode,
melted at the source.

For buried pipelines, storage tanks, and soil-exposed infrastructure. High driving voltage and consistent electrochemical output — forged from raw ingot within driving distance of the mine.

01 · Raw Material Adjacency

Closer to the ingot
than the distributor.

Henan Province produces more magnesium ingot than any other province in China — and CathPro sits in the middle of that supply chain. We don't buy magnesium on commodity spot markets. We melt within a short drive of the primary smelter.

Twenty-five years at the source means our alloying chemistry is stable, our lead times are short, and our traceability is genuine — every ingot carries a lot number you can follow back to the melt.

02 · Product Forms

Three geometries,
one proven alloy.

Form 01

Standard Block Anode

Cast block geometry for direct burial, tank-bottom grids, and structural grounding. Four standard weight classes.

GB/T 17731 · 8 / 11 / 14 / 22 kg
Form 02

Pre-packaged Anode

Magnesium core factory-packed in proprietary calcium-sulfate-bentonite backfill. Reduces installation labor and equalizes soil resistivity.

Recommended · soil resistivity > 5000 Ω·cm

04 · Typical Applications

Soil and freshwater,
long design life.

01

Buried Pipeline

Gas / oil transmission with CP current demand where magnesium's high driving voltage overcomes high-resistivity soil.

02

Tank Bottom

Above-ground storage tank external floor plates — distributed anode arrays under the bund liner.

03

Water Main

Municipal distribution networks, district heating pipework, reinforced-concrete water reservoirs.

04

Grounding Network

Substation earth mats, transmission tower grounding, cable armor in low-conductivity soils.
