Product Composition and Design
Our ICCP Tubular Anodes are made from high-quality titanium alloys, coated with a Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) layer. This design ensures superior corrosion resistance and enhances the anode's longevity, making it suitable for harsh environmental conditions. The tubular shape allows for efficient current distribution, optimizing cathodic protection performance.
Product Advantages
High Durability: The use of titanium alloy and MMO coatings ensures exceptional resistance to corrosion and wear, providing a longer service life.
Customizable Options: We offer various lengths and diameters to meet specific project requirements, ensuring tailored solutions for every client.
Environmentally Friendly: Our anodes are designed to minimize environmental impact while providing effective protection.
Technical Features
Enhanced Conductivity: The MMO coating allows for better electron flow, improving the efficiency of the anode.
Lightweight Design: The titanium alloy construction ensures that the anodes are lightweight, facilitating easier installation and handling.
Corrosion Resistance: Designed to withstand even the most aggressive environments, ensuring that your assets are protected over time.
Product Application
MMO tubular anode
Application areas: Suitable for many environments, such as soil, fresh water, saline water and seawater, and it is light in weight, has a long service life and is cost-effective.
1. MMO tubular anode is also called titanium tube anode, MMO anode titanium tube, or precious metal oxide (MMO) titanium anode tube. It is a metal oxide with electrocatalytic activity formed by coating, sintering and other processes on the titanium tube substrate. Suitable for many environments, such as soil, fresh water, saline water and seawater, and it is light in weight, has a long service life and is cost-effective;
2. In the application of impressed current cathodic protection, as the MMO auxiliary anode of the cathodic protection system, it constitutes a set of cathodic protection system together with a constant potential instrument, test pile, reference electrode, etc.;
3. In the process of using it as an auxiliary anode for deep well anode or bridge cathodic protection, weld the connecting cable to form a 2/3 anode string, which is simple to install and convenient to construct;
4. The service life and output current required by different requirements can be designed and produced by adjusting the coating ratio. MMO tubular anode coating type, thickness and anode size can be customized according to the user, depending on the required current density, medium environment and design life.

Product Production Process
Our production process follows strict quality control measures to guarantee the highest product standards. Key steps include:
Material Selection
Titanium is selected as the primary material due to its corrosion resistance and conductive properties. The material undergoes thorough quality checks to ensure it meets the standards for ICCP applications, especially for use in marine and buried structures.
Tube Cutting and Preparation
The titanium tubes are cut to precise lengths based on the design specifications for ICCP systems. The tubes are then cleaned and treated with an acid etch or sandblasting process to create a roughened surface, enhancing the adhesion of the coating applied later.
Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) Coating Application
A layer of MMO, typically a blend of iridium and tantalum oxides, is applied to the tube surface. This coating significantly improves conductivity and provides longevity in corrosive environments. The coating process involves dipping the tubes in MMO solution or spraying them, followed by heat treatment to cure the coating and secure it to the titanium.
Electrical Connections
Once coated, the tubes are equipped with durable, corrosion-resistant electrical connections. High-quality cable and sealing materials are used to ensure that the anode can withstand the harsh environments where it will be deployed.
Testing for Conductivity and Durability
Each anode undergoes extensive testing for conductivity to verify that the MMO coating provides uniform current distribution. Additional tests for adhesion, corrosion resistance, and overall durability ensure that the anode meets industry standards for ICCP systems.
Assembly of Anode Strings
In applications where multiple tubular anodes are needed, the tubes are assembled into strings with flexible wiring to allow for easy deployment. The connections are insulated to prevent current loss and to maintain system efficiency.
Insulation and Sealing
Protective seals are applied at the ends of each anode tube and along connecting points. These seals help prevent water ingress and corrosion, which could compromise the anode’s performance over time.
Quality Inspection
Each ICCP Tubular Anode undergoes rigorous quality inspections at every stage of production. This includes:
Raw Material Testing: Ensuring only the best materials are used.
In-Process Inspections: Regular checks during manufacturing to maintain quality.
Final Product Testing: Comprehensive testing to confirm compliance with industry standards.
Packaging Method
We prioritize safety and efficiency in our packaging methods. Our products are securely packed to prevent damage during transportation. Options include:
Custom Crates: For bulk orders, ensuring protection against impact.
Moisture-Proof Materials: To prevent corrosion during shipping.
