Cathodic Protection – Titanium Anode

---

Coated Titanium Anodes for Impressed Current Cathodic Protection—MMO Active Coated Titanium Anodes use titanium as a substrate and use thermal decomposition to form an oxide coating of platinum group metals.

1. Lightweight and good chemical stability, even in low pH and chloride ion-containing environments;
2. During the design life of the anode, the size is stable;
3. Uniform coating loss rate, 1-6mg/A.a;
4. Can work under high current density, 2000A/m²;
5. Conductivity, 10-7Ω·m.

19	1	1200	0.3	0.072
25	1.5	500	0.25	0.039
25	1.5	1000	0.5	0.079
25	1.5	1200	0.6	0.094
25	1.5	1500	0.75	0.118
31	2	1200	1	0.121
Application and Features	Tubular anodes can be used individually or in strings Can be used in all natural environments, such as soil, freshwater, seawater, soil, etc. Current output depends on anode size, substrate, application, and design life The larger the specific surface area, the larger the current output and the smaller the anode grounding resistance. Tubular anodes save 15-35% on installation costs compared to other anodes The unique flexibility of tubular anodes for easy handling, transport, and installation Anode/cable resistance less than 0.001ohms Standard coating quantity anode guarantees a life of 20 years

JOINTING R&D

Improving current efficiency and prolonging service life are the core technical indicators of DSA titanium electrodes. Different industries have different requirements for the performance of titanium electrodes. Even if the same industry uses the same system of electrocatalytic coatings for different electrolytes, it may not be possible. Bring the ideal use effect. Based on years of accumulated R&D and production experience and a high-level technical team, the company can tailor a coating system that meets its own production environment for target customers to meet the differentiated needs of different industries or different customers in the same industry.
