Overview
CerAnode™ Loresco® Coke Breeze is a high-purity carbon backfill designed to enhance the performance and service life of impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) groundbeds. Surrounding the anode with a conductive carbon medium reduces groundbed resistance, improves current distribution, and promotes efficient current discharge into the surrounding electrolyte.
Specified for new installations and groundbed rehabilitation projects, Loresco® Coke Breeze is widely used in deep anode beds, shallow groundbeds, and distributed anode systems protecting pipelines, storage tanks, marine structures, and other critical infrastructure. Its consistent particle size and high carbon content provide reliable, long-term performance in demanding cathodic protection applications.
Key Features & Benefits

HMWPE Cable
CerAnode™ HMWPE Cable is engineered for long-term performance in impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) and galvanic cathodic protection systems. Manufactured with a high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE) jacket, this cable provides exceptional resistance to abrasion, moisture, chemicals, and mechanical damage, making it ideal for demanding underground, marine, and industrial installations.
Kynar® Cable
CerAnode™ Kynar® Cable is engineered for impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems operating in the most demanding industrial and corrosive environments. Insulated with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), Kynar® provides exceptional resistance to chemicals, abrasion, ultraviolet (UV) exposure, and elevated temperatures, making it an ideal choice for critical corrosion protection applications where long-term reliability is essential.
Halar® Cable
CerAnode™ Halar® Cable is engineered for impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems requiring exceptional chemical resistance and long-term durability in aggressive operating environments. Insulated with ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE), Halar® provides outstanding protection against acids, alkalis, hydrocarbons, moisture, and other corrosive chemicals commonly encountered in industrial and marine applications.
Ventrolizer™ (VENT)
CerAnode™ Ventrolizer™ Vent Pipe Assemblies are engineered to safely vent gases generated within cathodic protection systems while preventing moisture, debris, insects, and contaminants from entering the vent piping. Designed for long-term outdoor performance, Ventrolizer assemblies help maintain proper system operation by allowing unrestricted gas ventilation without compromising the integrity of the installation.
Underwater Connector
CerAnode™ Underwater Connectors provide secure, watertight electrical connections for cathodic protection (CP) systems operating in submerged and marine environments. Engineered to maintain reliable electrical continuity while preventing water intrusion, these connectors are ideal for impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) and galvanic systems protecting offshore structures, marine infrastructure, and submerged assets.
Splice Kit
CerAnode™ Cable Splice Kits provide secure, moisture-resistant electrical connections for cathodic protection (CP) systems operating in demanding underground, marine, and industrial environments. Designed to restore cable continuity while protecting against moisture intrusion, corrosion, and mechanical damage, these kits help ensure long-term electrical reliability in both impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) and galvanic systems.
