LIDA® Rod Anodes are comprised of a titanium substrate with a mixed metal oxide coating.  The mixed metal oxide is a crystalline, electrically-conductive coating that activates the titanium and enables it to function as an anode.

 

Anode Life:  Due to the extremely low consumption rates and dimensional stability of mixed metal oxide anodes, the electrical resistance of LIDA® Rod Anodes remains essentially constant with time. The high current density capacity of De Nora mixed metal oxide anodes has the added advantage of allowing high current overloads for initial polarization without causing harm to the anode.  Anode life projections are accurately made using the lifetime graphs.

 

Selection of the anode coating is based on operating environment:
