• Prevents galvanic corrosion • Easy to apply • Available in rolls, sheets and die cuts OVERVIEW Heskins anti corrosion tape is available to be applied between two metals to prevent galvanic corrosion. What is Galvanic corrosion? Galvanic corrosion, also known as bimetallic corrosion, is an electrochemical process whereby one metal corrodes in preference to another metal that it is in contact with through an electrolyte. Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals are immersed in a conductive solution and are electrically connected. Galvanic corrosion can make a conventionally non-corroding metal then corrode if the conditions are correct and it is connected to a dissimilar metal, i.e. aluminium and steel together. Ways to prevent Galvanic corrosion There are different ways to prevent Galvanic corrosion. Our focus is on insulation, that is, breaking the electrical connection by insulating the two metals from each other. Dielectric Strength Dielectric Strength measures the electric strength of insulating materials at various power frequencies. It is an indicator of how good an insulator material is. It is measured in Volts per unit thickness (kV/mm). The higher the value, the more electrically insulating material is.
