Platinized Titanium Anodes

Platinized titanium anodes offer excellent electrochemical properties and high corrosion resistance of titanium metal compared to other soluble electrodes and lead anodes:

Platinum Titan

Flexibility to meet a wide range of usage requirements

Complex anode shapes can be produced

Energy efficient

Light weight (especially mesh anodes)

Long service life even at high current densities

Titanium structure is robust and does not deform

Can be re-plated with platinum

Uniform precipitation and high quality of the finished product

Titanium anodes are available in mesh, plate, rod, wire and tube form. The standard thickness of the platinum layer is 2-5 m. In case of higher requirements, the thickness of the platinum layer can be up to 20 m. The service life of platinized titanium anodes depends on the working medium (electrolyte) and the current intensity (current density) of the anode.

The current density should not exceed 75 A/dm2. Below this value, the wear of the platinum layer is minimal and the life of the anode can be estimated. As a rule of thumb, the wear of the platinum layer in fluorine-free chromium plating solutions is about 1-4 grams per million amperes. We recommend platinized niobium anodes when current densities are higher than 75 A/dm2 or when fluorinated electrolytes are used (see Platinized Anodes).
