A Zinc Ribbon Anode is a continuous, flexible sacrificial anode used in cathodic protection (CP) systems to provide uniform corrosion protection for buried or submerged metallic structures. It consists of a high-purity zinc strip often reinforced with a steel core wire, allowing easy installation along pipelines, tank bottoms, or other structures requiring distributed protection.
