Our MMO Ribbon Anode and Titanium Conductor Bar system represents a breakthrough in cathodic protection technology. This integrated solution combines the superior current-carrying capacity of titanium conductor bars with the exceptional electrochemical performance of Mixed Metal Oxide ribbon anodes, creating a complete protection system for structures.
Primary Applications:
Bridge Decks & Parking Garages: Superior corrosion protection for horizontal surfaces
Marine Structures: Piers, wharves, and sea walls exposed to saltwater
Building Foundations: Protection against soil-side corrosion
Industrial Facilities: Chemical plants and processing facilities with aggressive environments
System Advantages & Integrated Benefits
Uniform Current Distribution
Ribbon anode geometry ensures even current emission along the entire length, eliminating protection gaps and hot spots.
Easy Installation & Placement
Flexible ribbon design allows simple placement within concrete pours or surface mounting on existing structures.
Superior Mechanical Strength
Titanium conductor bars provide robust structural support and excellent current-carrying capacity.
Long-Term Reliability
Integrated system design ensures consistent performance throughout the structure's service life.
Minimal Maintenance
Once installed, the system operates maintenance-free with no moving parts or regular adjustments required.
