OPTIMA™ Series Anodes

Electrocatalytically selective OPTIMA anodes have proven themselves to be superior to conventional nickel, lead, lead alloy, steel, graphite and magnetite anodes. Unlike these disposable products, OPTIMA anodes employ recoatable titanium and other high-value metal substrates, which provide excellant stability in agressive alkaline or acid baths.

OPTIMA anodes reduce energy consumption and require low maintenance, generating long-term savings.

OPTIMA Series Anodes:

  • OPTIMA PTA Series - platinum plated, clad and thermally deposited
  • OPTIMA PIA Series - platinum irridium oxide
  • OPTIMA RUA Series - ruthenium oxide
  • OPTIMA IOA Series - irridium oxide

Anode Applications:
Aluminum Anodizing
Automotive
Cathodic Protection
Chlorine Evolving
Copper Foil
Steel Coating

Features and Benefits

  • Substrate - OPTIMA anodes are a one-time investment.  They can be recoated for a fraction of the cost of replacing worn-out conventional anodes.
  • Labor - With OPTIMA anodes, the sludge commonly caused by conventional anodes, e.g., nickel, lead steel, and magnetite, is virtually nonexistent, saving you not only the cost of labor-intensive sludge removal, but the high cost of anode disposal as well.
  • Manufacturing - Because OPTIMA anodes are titanium based, they experience no lead or other heavy metal contaminant buildup.
  • Environmental Liability - OPTIMA anodes are free of the hazardous waste sludge produced by conventional anodes.
  • Energy - The activated anode coatings offer a high degree of energy efficiency.
