Background description of company and its products:
	Vector Corrosion Technologies takes pride in offering technically advanced, cost effective corrosion protection solutions to extend the service life and improve the durability of concrete and masonry structures around the world.
Recommended Uses-Primary: Corrosion Inhibitors
Recommended Uses-Alternate: Please Select ...
Outstanding Features or Advantages Claimed:
	The Galvashield® XP range of embedded galvanic anodes are used to mitigate ring anode corrosion when repairing reinforced concrete structures. Designed for optimum performance and ease of installation, the alkali-activated (Type 1A) anodes are comprised of high purity zinc cast around a steel tie wire with an enhanced formulated cement-based mortar with an internal pH of 14 or greater that keeps the zinc active over the life of the anode. Once installed, the zinc anode corrodes to provide galvanic corrosion prevention or corrosion control to adjacent reinforcing steel.
General Composition of Material:
	Embedded galvanic anodes shall be Anode Type 1A Class C. The anodes shall be pre-manufactured with zinc in compliance with ASTM B418 Type II cast around an integral, unspliced, uncoated, non-galvanized double loop steel tie wire and encased in a highly alkaline cementitious shell with a pH of 14 or greater. The galvanic anodes shall be alkali-activated and shall contain no intentionally added chloride, bromide or other constituents that are corrosive to reinforcing steel as per ACI 562.
