Protect Dry Zones With The Power Of Zinc
The LifePanel® system, offered by ARTAZN™, is a galvanic cathodic protection solution designed to protect affected reinforced concrete structures in “dry zones”, or those areas not in wet areas or splash zones. Specifically, this innovative solution targets inland structures that have become saturated with chlorides from salt laden air or from deicing salts.
There is no need to deal with the monitoring and maintenance needed with impressed current systems. Our team offers assistance in guiding the structure owner and engineer through the evaluation and specification process as well as support during and after the award of the project.

Chloride-Induced Corrosion
Structural integrity, compromised by the effects of corrosion, is a major concern of our infrastructure. Chloride-induced corrosion is a major form of chemical attack on existing structures. The Federal Highway Administration has stated that cathodic protection is the “only rehabilitation technique proven to stop corrosion in salt-contaminated structures, regardless of chloride content”.
LifePanel® Provides Uniform Corrosion Protection
From the makers of the LifeJacket® system, the LifePanels® function as thin, surface-mounted anodes that provide uniform corrosion protection over large areas. The LifePanel® has been documented to satisfy NACE RP0290 100mV polarization criteria, and to be freeze-thaw resistant.
The LifePanel® system is an engineered product containing ARTAZN™’s high purity zinc mesh anode encased in a proprietary conductive mortar. The conductive mortar is formulated to optimize the performance of the zinc anode so that the system can be designed to achieve a 25+ year protection to the reinforcing steel from corrosion. The LifePanel® system can be sized to project specifications and is installed using a simple “trowel and stick” method or adapted for use as a form on structures with severe spall damage.
The LifePanel® system comes as a complete package including:
- Pre-wired and sized panels
- Bridging mortar
- Coating material
- Anchoring system
- Junction box kit (if specified)
