MMO Titanium Anode for Electroplating
Engineered for electroplating professionals — higher efficiency, longer life, zero bath contamination
What Problem Does This Solve?
If you run an electroplating line, you know the headache of anode replacement. Lead anodes dissolve into your bath, contaminating your镀层 and requiring constant maintenance. Graphite anodes crumble and pollute your solution. Every unplanned anode change means hours of downtime, expensive bath chemistry resets, and scrapped work.
Our MMO (Mixed Metal Oxide) coated titanium anodes are the industrial-grade solution that electroplating professionals trust. The titanium substrate is chemically inert — it never enters your bath. The MMO coating provides consistent, stable catalysis across thousands of operating hours. The result: zero metallic contamination, lower voltage, and anode life that is measured in years, not months.
Feature — MMO Mixed Metal Oxide Coating
Unlike conventional anodes, our titanium anodes are coated with a precisely formulated Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) layer — typically ruthenium oxide (RuO₂), iridium oxide (IrO₂), or tantalum oxide (Ta₂O₅) — thermally applied at 400–500°C in a controlled atmosphere.
This creates a dimensionally stable, non-consumable anode that maintains its electrocatalytic activity year after year. The coating thickness (typically 8–20 g/m²) is certified and documented with every shipment.
Benefit to you:
- No titanium dissolution — bath chemistry stays clean and predictable
- Stable potential across full current density range
- Consistent current distribution eliminates burning and hot spots
- Coating regeneration possible (recoat service available)
Feature — Multiple Coating Formulations for Every Bath Chemistry
We offer four coating formulations, each optimized for different electroplating conditions:
- Ru-Ir (Ruthenium-Iridium) — General-purpose; best value for chrome, nickel, and zinc plating
- Ir-Ta (Iridium-Tantalum) — Superior acid resistance; ideal for high-temperature and chloride-rich baths
- Ir-Sn (Iridium-Tin) — Optimized for acid copper and alloy plating applications
- Pt (Platinum) — Highest purity; for precious metal plating where absolute bath integrity is critical
Benefit to you:
You get the right coating for your specific chemistry, not a generic one-size-fits-all anode that degrades prematurely in your bath.
Feature — Five Standard Product Forms, Custom Fabricated to Your Tank
MMO titanium anodes are available in the forms your plating line actually needs:
- Plate / Sheet — Standard for most rack plating systems
- Mesh — Up to 1.5× the active surface area of solid plate; ideal for barrel plating
- Tube — Maximizes surface area in confined tank geometries
- Rod — For selective and internal plating applications
- Basket — Mesh basket format for easy loading of small or odd-shaped workpieces
Benefit to you:
Any shape, any size — we manufacture to your drawings. No need to modify your tank to fit our anode.
Feature — Backed by Full Technical Documentation
Every anode ships with:
- Coating weight certificate (g/m², IrO₂ content)
- Material traceability certificate (ASTM B348, Grade 1 or 2)
- Adhesion test report (ASTM D3359 cross-cut tape, ≥4B rating)
- Batch number for repeat order consistency
Benefit to you:
You receive inspection evidence before payment. If the certificate values don’t match your order, we make it right — no questions.
