What Is MMO Wire Anode and How to Choose the Right One for Your Industry?
MMO Wire Anode is a flexible mixed metal oxide (MMO) coated titanium wire designed for impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems. It uses a high-purity titanium core coated with RuO₂–IrO₂ catalytic layer, providing excellent corrosion resistance, low electrical resistance, and stable long-term current output in soil, water, and concrete environments.
MMO Wire Anode is widely used in pipeline corrosion protection, tank bottom protection, reinforced concrete structures, offshore engineering, and underground steel systems. Compared with traditional anodes, MMO Wire Anode offers higher flexibility, easier installation, lower resistance, and significantly longer service life.
Selecting the right MMO Wire Anode depends on soil resistivity, installation method, current demand, and design life. High-resistivity environments require optimized coating loading and stronger linear output capacity, while long-distance pipeline systems benefit from flexible deployment and uniform current distribution. Proper selection ensures maximum corrosion protection efficiency, reduced maintenance cost, and long-term structural stability.
