IrOxide™ Coatings
Robust Iridium Oxide coatings providing energy efficient oxygen production.
IrOxide™ Coatings
Our Iridium Oxide series of anode formulations enable the energy-efficient production of oxygen. Iridium, the primary precious metal, is converted to oxide. Depending on the environment and the exact requirements, the Iridium can be combined with other precious metal and/or base metal oxides to produce the optimum electrochemical catalyst for your specific process conditions and desired operating performance and product results.
Applications include: electrolytic recovery, cathodic protection, electrophoresis, electrosynthesis of organic and inorganic compounds, electrodionization, electrogalvanizing, and more.

Applications for IrOxide Coated Anodes
Electroplating:
IrOxide coated anodes are widely used in electroplating processes to deposit metals like Gold, Silver, Copper, Nickel, and Chrome onto various substrates. Their precise current control ensures even coating thickness and superior adhesion.
Electrowinning:
IrOxide coated anodes are essential in electrowinning, where metals are recovered from their ores or waste solutions. The high efficiency and corrosion resistance of mixed metal oxide anodes lead to higher recovery rates and reduced operational costs.
Electrolytic Cleaning:
In electrolytic cleaning, mixed metal oxide anodes facilitate the removal of surface contaminants from metal parts. Their efficiency and durability ensure thorough and consistent cleaning, which is vital for preparing surfaces for subsequent finishing processes.
Metal Plating:
Metal Plating involves the application of a metal coating to a base metal substrate. The base metal is typically a less expensive metal like Steel, Zinc, or Copper, and the plating metal is a more valuable or functional metal like Nickel, Chrome, or Gold. This process improves the surface properties of the base metal.
