An Extruded Ribbon Magnesium Anode is a continuous, flexible sacrificial (galvanic) anode manufactured by the extrusion process, designed for cathodic protection (CP) of buried or submerged metallic structures. It is typically supplied in long lengths and installed parallel to pipelines or around structures requiring distributed protection.
