Zinc Anode - 100x80x1 mm

Product information "Zinc Anode - 100x80x1 mm "

Zinc Anode / Plate Electrode (SW10079)

Short Description

The Zinc Anode / Plate Electrode is a flat sacrificial anode made from high-purity zinc (Zn ≥ 99.8 %), designed for electroplating processes that require uniform, protective zinc coatings. It supplies zinc ions steadily into the electrolyte, promoting stable plating conditions and consistent deposit quality.


Product Description

This plate electrode is made from high-purity zinc and features a flat, broad geometry (approx. 100 × 80 mm) with a thickness of about 3 mm, making it suitable for plating larger surface areas evenly. As a sacrificial anode, zinc dissolves in a controlled manner, helping to maintain the metal content of the bath and provide stable plating conditions. 

The large active surface makes this electrode particularly suitable for bath electroplating with zinc electrolytes, ensuring uniform current distribution and improved coating quality. 


Typical Applications

  • Electroplating of zinc for corrosion protection

  • Bath plating for decorative or functional zinc finishes

  • Plating of larger components requiring even coverage

  • Workshop, laboratory, and educational electroplating processes


Key Benefits

  • High-purity zinc (≥ 99.8 %): supports clean, reproducible results

  • Broad plate design: improves current distribution across surfaces

  • Ideal for zinc electrolyte baths: enhances plating consistency

  • Controlled electrolyte regeneration: maintains bath composition

  • Simple to integrate: suitable for various electroplating setups


Usage Instructions

  1. Preparation: Thoroughly clean and degrease the workpiece; activate if required.

  2. Placement: Position the zinc plate electrode as the anode (positive terminal) in the electrolyte, with the workpiece as the cathode.

  3. Plating: Set current and voltage according to the specific zinc electrolyte — typically low volt ranges are used.

  4. Maintenance: Clean the electrode periodically to remove oxide buildup and maintain performance.


Conclusion

The Zinc Anode / Plate Electrode is an efficient sacrificial anode designed for consistent and uniform zinc electroplating. Its large active surface and high material purity make it suitable for hobby, workshop, and professional electroplating applications alike.
