TiTaN's Platinized niobium metal anode ( PLANMA ) is the most suitable anode to the electrolytes having fluoride. Commercially pure niobium has been confirmed to have a high resistance to anodic breakdown potential in sodium chloride and sea water. Niobium has attraction for use over titanium where extremely high reliability is required in long life, high value iccp systems, and accordingly is so used.

TiTaN's platinized niobium wire anodes are designed for effective operating in fresh, brackish and saltwater; used in all types of aqueous storage and process equipment. These anode aren't adversely affected by high chloride concentrations. Also platinized tubular / rod anodes are used for cathodic protection in seawater environment Because of its low consumption rate, the anode may be employed in a cathodic protection system to achieve a long life.

Platinised Anodes ( Pt Anode ) are produced by coating platinum ( Pt ) on a specially treated precious metal ( Titanium / Niobium / Tantalum / Zirconium ) substrate by means of electrodeposition process. They are economical as well as it retains the superior physical and chemical properties of platinum.

According to the substrate material used, the platinized anodes are classified as

01 Platinized titanium anode 02 Platinized niobium anode

03 Platinised zirconium anodes 04 Platinised tantalum anodes

Box anode, Rod anode, Wire anode, Ring anode, Plate anode, Ribbon anodes, Tubular anodes, Strip anodes, Mesh anodes, Any other geometry

TiTaN's platinized titanium metal anodes are most suitable for wet electrodeposition of precious metals like gold, platinum, palladium, chromium, nickel and copper etc.

Application

• Chromium plating anode
• Hard chrome plating anodes

TiTaN offers the PLATMA series platinized Titanium insoluble anodes for Copper applications for printed circuits using pulse periodic reverse (PPR) technology, with an Iridium or Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) -coated Ti substrate.

Use of special type anodes increases in the electroplating bath’s life. Anode maintenance is also minimised and there is no need to stop lines to clean and replenish anodes, change anode bags and re-film anodes. This increases the productivity and a reduction in labour costs. Insoluble special anodes also prevent potential problems with metal particulates associated with soluble anodes, which threaten to come onto on the plated substrate, creating a reject.
