Under the PLATINODEĀ® brand, Umicore offers two high-quality types of electrodes: titanium and niobium electrodes coated through high-temperature electrolysis (HTE), and mixed metal oxide (MMO) electrodes, both known for their performance and durability.
Platinized electrodes
Our titanium and niobium electrodes are coated with the purest platinum using high-temperature electrolysis (HTE). This process results in a platinum functional layer with exceptional ductility, the highest purity, and superior adhesive strength. These electrodes are renowned for their resilience, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting durability, making them ideal for demanding applications.
Mixed metal oxide (MMO) electrodes
Umicoreās MMO electrodes are highly efficient, offering an outstanding price-to-performance ratio. These electrodes allow for low energy consumption and reduced use of organic additives, which significantly extends the electrolyte lifetime. Their dimensional stability and durability contribute to more environmentally friendly production and lower long-term costs compared to conventional electrodes.
Both types of electrodes ensure excellent deposition results while enhancing sustainability and cost efficiency in production processes.
