MMO Mesh Ribbon Anode
MMO mesh ribbon anode is manufactured from an expanded titanium
mesh substrate coated with mixed metal oxides. The mixed metal
oxide coating, with industrially proven lifetime characteristics,
ensures an even current distribution along the anodes length.
- Quality Substrate Material
The titanium substrate of the anode is selected according to ASTM
B265 Grade 1 standard requirements. The high purity titanium has
proven excellent chemical corrosion resistance, low electrical
resistance, and high mechanical integrity against damage.
- Noble Metal Oxide Coating
The Ir–Ta (IrO2/Ta2O5) mixed metal oxide catalyst, sintered to the
surface of titanium substrate, demonstrates high chemical stability
when exposed to high current density. We are able to produce anodes
with differing coating thickness and noble metal oxide ratios.
Strict quality procedures are followed throughout the coating
process to ensure appropriate coating thickness and adhesion.

Applications of MMO Ribbon Anode
MMO Ribbon Anodes are widely utilized in various infrastructures
across multiple sectors to ensure optimal cathodic protection.
Notable applications encompass:
Reinforced Concrete Structures: These anodes are adept at shielding
reinforced concrete assets against the deleterious effects of
environmental elements like chlorides and carbonation. Structures
such as bridges, parking facilities, and commercial edifices often
benefit from their integration.
Subterranean Steel Constructs & Pipelines: The MMO Ribbon Anode
proves instrumental in preventing corrosion in steel structures and
pipelines that are buried, defending them from the corrosive
tendencies of soil and ambient moisture. Depending on the need,
they can be arrayed in continuous horizontal beds or vertically at
shallow depths.
Storage Tanks (Subsurface & Surface): For both underground and
above-ground storage reservoirs, these anodes provide a robust
defense mechanism against corrosion on tank bottoms and sides.
Their flexibility allows for both vertical and horizontal
placements, adapting to the tank’s structural nuances.
Bridge Infrastructure: Vital components of bridges, such as piers
and abutments, often face corrosion challenges from elements like
saltwater. MMO Ribbon Anodes, in such scenarios, serve as a
protective layer, ensuring the longevity and structural integrity
of these bridge components.
