How does HYSF prevent Cathodic Delamination?

Cathodic Delamination is a common failure where the rubber peels off the metal shell due to hydrogen gas evolution in systems using Sacrificial Anodes. HYSF prevents this by using specialized Primers and a rigorous Sandblasting process during manufacturing to create an unbreakable chemical bond between the metal and the elastomer.

If your ROV has Zinc anodes, the whole frame is electrically “active.”

The Problem: The cathodic protection system generates hydrogen ions at the metal surface. If the rubber bond is weak, this gas pressure will “blow” the rubber off the metal, causing leakage.
Our Solution: We use a two-step primer system and sandblast the metal to SA 2.5 standard to increase surface area.
Result: Our bond strength exceeds the tear strength of the rubber itself (i.e., the rubber will tear before it peels off the metal).
