What is Cathodic Disbondment?
Cathodic Disbondment occurs when a large potential difference (voltage) occurs between the cathode (protected metal) and the anode. The high drive potential essentially drives off coatings, resulting in exposed surface area, failure of coatings and high levels of marine growth.
The greater the difference the higher the current flow which in turn increases the degradation and coating loss on vessels.
By using a more neutral anode with a lower voltage potential you can combat this problem as there is less potential to affect a coating. Balance is achieved when the protected metal (cathode) is equal to the anode voltage.
