Why insoluble mixed-metal oxide anodes are an ideal choice for chrome plating

Mixed-Metal Oxide (MMO) coated titanium anodes are characteristically lightweight and geometrically flexible.  This assures ease of installation and quick change-over on the plating line.  Utilizing titanium structures, and custom formulated MMO coatings, the auxiliary anodes are capable of multiple refurbishments; providing a cost-effective life-span.

De Nora DSA® auxiliary anodes are designed to provide:

  • Uniform current apportionment in plating of recessed areas
  • Proper deposition of copper/nickel/chromium plating thicknesses
  • Cost-effective process

Features & Benefits

  • GreenChrome™ anodes are dimensionally stable, highly conductive and offer a titanium metal structure.
  • A DSA® anode provides more throwing power for hard to reach areas.
  • A stable metallic structure provides uniform current distribution, and therefore more uniform plating over the life of the anode.
  • GreenChrome™ anodes can replace hazardous lead based anodes to eliminate an environmental and health and safety hazard.
  • Titanium structure based anodes are lighter for ease of installation and removal.
