MMO Strip-type Anode

The MMO Strip-type Anode is an insoluble auxiliary anode manufactured by sintering a stable, highly electrocatalytic mixed metal oxide coating (e.g., IrO2, RuO2, Ta2O5) onto a titanium substrate (TA1/TA2).

It features high electrocatalytic activity, high current efficiency, and long service life, specifically designed for impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems on ship hulls in seawater, brackish water, and freshwater environments.
