Optimum Cathodic
Protection
Our proprietary catalysts are suitable for use in a wide range of cathodic protection applications, including soil, carbonaceous landfill, fresh water, brackish water, and seawater. Our high-value metal substrates assure high corrosion resistance.
Optimum Cathodic Protection
Optimum Anode Technologies™ is a high-quality provider of cost-effective dimensionally stable anodes that are both reliable and cost competitive for most cathodic protection applications. We supply mixed-metal-oxide (MMO) and platinum catalytic coatings that are sintered to a titanium substrate, providing an anode that is both lightweight and durable. Our proprietary catalysts are suitable for use in a wide range of cathodic protection applications, including soil, carbonaceous landfill, fresh water, brackish water, and seawater. Our high-value metal substrates assure high corrosion resistance.

anode shapes and benefits
Titanium Wire
• Lightweight - e.g., 100 feet of titanium wire weighs less than 2.5 lbs.
Ductile - can be tied in a knot without damage.
• Composite materials eliminate problems with breakage of brittle material such as graphite and silicon iron.
• Dimensional stability eliminates associated problems with connection seals.
• Compatible with widest range of cathodic protection media (water, coke, seawater, brackish water).
• Superior corrosion resistance vs. graphite and silicon iron.
• Long life.
• Ideal for: storage tanks, pipelines, water heaters, cable shielding, linear anode systems, canister anodes.
Ti-Clad Copper Wire
• Lightweight - e.g., 100 ft weighs less than 2.5 lbs.
• Ductile - can be tied in a knot without damage.
• Composite materials eliminate problems with breakage of brittle material such as graphite and silicon iron.
• Dimensional stability eliminates associated problems with connection seals.
• Compatible with the widest range of cathodic protection media (water, coke, seawater, brackish water).
• Lower electrical resistance vs. solid titanium.
• Long life.
• Ideal for: storage tanks, pipelines, water heaters, cable shielding, linear anode systems, canister anodes.
Tubular
• Lightweight - e.g., typical tube weighs less than 1lb.
• Composite materials eliminate problems with breakage of brittle materials such as graphite and silicon iron.
• Dimensional stability eliminates problems assodated with connection seals.
• Compatible with the widest range of cathodic protection media (water, coke, seawater, brackish water).
• Highest current capacity per anode.
• Installed ground bed costs can be 20-50% less than with silicon iron and graphite.
• Long life.
• Ideal for: underground structures (well casings, pipelines storage tanks), concrete and steel piers, pilings and
bulkheads.
Ribbons
• Lightweight - e.g., 100 ft of the ⅙-in. (6.35 mm) ribbon weighs slightly more than 1 lb.
• Composite material eliminates the brittle issues encountered with graphite and silicon iron.
• Dimensional stability eliminates issues associated with connection seals.
• Compatible with a wide range of cathodic protection media (fresh water, coke, seawater, brackish water).
• Superior corrosion resistance vs. graphite, silicon iron, and other altemative materials.
• Conveniently cut and welded in the field to suit various geometries.
• Long life.
• Ideal for: storage tanks, concrete.
Rods
• Lightweight - e.g., typical titanium rod weighs just 0.13 lb per ft at Y2-in. diameter.
• Composite materials eliminate problems with breakage of brittle material such as graphite and silicon iron.
• Dimensional stability eliminates issues associated with connection seals.
• Compatible with a wide range of compatible protection media (fresh water, coke, seawater, brackish water).
• Long life.
• Ideal for: power plant heat exchangers/water boxes, jetties.
Mesh
• Lightweight - e.g., a 250-ft coil of ribbon mesh weighs just 4-8 lbs.
• Ductile - composite material exhibits characteristics of the titanium substrate, which is highly malleable.
• Dimensional stability assures excellent contact with media and a stable surface for seals.
• Compatible with a wide range of compatible protection media (fresh water, coke, seawater, brackish water).
• Conveniently cut and welded in the field to suit various structures and geometries.
• Long life.
• Ideal for: concrete structures, parking garages, bridge decks.
Custom Manufactured Parts
• Complex shapes that best fit your application - e.g., ellipticals, spheres or any special form you require.
• Choose the best coating for your custom fabrication, induding niobium, tantalum, aluminum, zinc, or magnesium (in addition to ruthenium, iridium, platinum, or palladium).
BENEFITS OF optimum cathodic protection
- Expert Selection:
Coatings are selected by our technology experts, but only after first listening to the specifics of your application. This helps identify the details and nuances of the technical, operational, and financial aspects of your desired business goals.
- Energy-Efficient:
Optimum anodes optimize energy consumption, operating at low anodic potentials for a selected environment. The coatings selection assures the right balance of energy efficiency and life. In addition, the dimensional stability of our anodes keeps energy consumption low throughout the design life of the anode.
- Environmentally Safe:
Optimum anodes are non-toxic, insoluble, and lead-free. With no hazardous materials to worry about, our anodes can easily be recycled or scrapped and will not be the cause of any environmental liabilities in the future.
- Standard or Custom Parts – Your Choice:
Maximize your cathodic protection with dimensionally stable anode products from Optimum Anode Technologies™. Choose from our family of standard, high- performance offerings. However, if your needs go beyond off-the-shelf solutions, we are ready to provide a custom design that best fits your special requirements and provides the greatest benefits.
Standard or custom, all our anodes are made from the same high- quality manufacturing process – without breaking the bank.
Choose from a wide array of shapes – wire, ribbon, tubular, rod, mesh, or custom manufactured parts – to reap the greatest benefits for your particular application.
