The SACRIFICIAL ANODE

Triples the protection against external corrosion of the chrome on taps and shower sets. The Sacrificial Anode is Ramon Soler®'s latest patent, with which it protects tap surfaces from corrosion, keeping the chrome with a spotless shine.

The SACRIFICIAL ANODE
New Fly single-lever basin mixer by Ramon Soler®

The anode is a zinc-magnesium part that is inserted inside the tap to protect it from wear and corrosion, both inside and out. Ramon Soler has patented this anti-corrosion system and fits it to all its tap and shower set ranges: in both the vertical and wall-mounted fixings, and its handles are also protected. This solution represents an important advance in the durability of Ramon Soler® taps.

This innovative system is applied to handles, eccentrics and fixing studs, improving the quality and lifespan of the coatings across all its taps. With this patent it also guarantees the perfect condition of its Diamond Finish. The results are 600h of salt spray (3 times the EU 817 standard).

Drawing 1, result with a zinc-magnesium sacrificial anode on the fixing stud. Rust does not reach the copper of the tap. Drawing 2, fixing without an anode. Under the same oxidation conditions, the copper of the body is already beginning to be affected by rust. It is being introduced into production progressively during this year, 2020.
