Sika® FerroGard®-410 Patch CC

Discrete anode for corrosion control

Sika® FerroGard®-410 Patch CC is a zinc based discrete sacrificial anode placed in reinforced concrete structures which are corroding as a result of chloride ingress and / or carbonation.
Sika® FerroGard®-410 Patch CC discrete anodes are placed into sound carbonated or chloride contaminated concrete outside of any concrete repaired areas.
Once installed, the Sika® FerroGard®-410 Patch CC anodes will corrode preferentially to the surrounding reinforcement, offering protection against corrosion damage.

  • Sika® FerroGard®-410 Patch CC anodes corrode preferentially to the surrounding reinforcement, offering protection from further corrosion damage.
  • No long term maintenance costs 
  • Conforms to the latest EN 12696:2012 standard for impressed current cathodic protection, when designed appropriately
  • Large charge capacity of up to 500 kC with option of sizes.*
  • Rapid and targeted installation
  • Performance can be monitored
  • Pre-packaged embedding mortar
  • No need to break-out large areas of sound contaminated concrete
  • Lifetime of up to 20 years*
*  Dependent on local conditions, including chloride concentration, concrete properties, humidity and temperature.

Usage

  • Corrosion control of zones within sound contaminated concrete.
  • For reinforced concrete structures such as bridges, car parks, coastal structures, industrial structures and residential high-rise.
  • Coastal reinforced concrete structures both in and above the tidal zone

APPLICATION

Reference must be made to the Sika Method Statement: Corrosion Control using Discrete Galvanic Anodes Sika® FerroGard®-400s Patch CC for further details. This is summarised below:

Sika® FerroGard®-410 Patch CC anodes are installed following guidelines in EN 12696:2012 and CEN/TS 14038-1:2004.

The anodes are typically positioned at a density of 4–9 /m2 of surface concrete. Spacing between anodes: 280–600 mm.

Install into pre-drilled (30 mm diameter holes with a depth of ~80 mm) previously filled with Sika® FerroGard®-500 Crete embedding mortar to completely encapsulate the anode.

Electrically connect each anode to a titanium feeder wire which is connected to the reinforcement. This allows an option to deliver an electrical charge to the reinforcement at any point in the future should a change in environmental conditions demand greater protection of the reinforcement. In this situation, Sika® FerroGard®-410 Patch CC system conforms to the latest EN 12696:2012 standard for impressed current cathodic protection.

The Sika® FerroGard®-410 Patch CC anode installation can be monitored using half-cell potential surveys, current outputs and reinforcement corrosion rate measurements.
