MMO Coated Wire Manufactured by Tiaano: The Ultimate Long-Life Solution for Cathodic Protection

Corrosion is Silently Destroying Your Assets – Why Settle for Short-Lived Anodes When MMO Coated Wire Can Protect Them for Decades?

In infrastructure that must last, every year of extended service life translates directly into millions saved. Switching to high-performance MMO coated wire eliminates frequent anode replacement cycles and delivers predictable, uniform protection – making temporary fixes a thing of the past.

Global Specialists in MMO Coated Wire Technology

Since 1992, Ti Anode Fabricators Pvt. Ltd (Tiaano), headquartered in Chennai, India, has been at the forefront of designing and manufacturing advanced MMO coated wire and mixed metal oxide anodes. With thousands of successful cathodic protection projects worldwide, Tiaano is trusted by engineering giants for delivering wires that outperform expectations in the harshest soil and marine environments.

How MMO Coated Wire Revolutionizes Cathodic Protection

MMO coated wire functions as a dimensionally stable, current-distributing anode in impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems. A precision-applied mixed metal oxide layer (typically ruthenium-iridium or similar noble metal oxides) on a titanium substrate generates protective current efficiently while resisting corrosion itself. This ensures your steel structures – pipelines, tanks, or jetties – remain polarized below the protection potential for decades without anode depletion.

Custom Specifications and Superior Material Standards

The latest consignment dispatched to Argentina features: 

-      Diameter: 3 mm solid titanium core 

-      Coating: High-density Ru-Ir based MMO layer optimized for soil and freshwater service 

-      Length: Continuous 600-meter spool for seamless installation 

-      Current Output: Up to 60 A/m in low-resistivity environments 

Titanium Grade 1 substrate guarantees zero substrate dissolution even at high current densities.

Tiaano’s Uncompromising In-House Quality Validation

Each spool of MMO coated wire undergoes rigorous internal testing: accelerated life testing per NACE TM0294, coating adhesion verification, XRF composition analysis, uniformity scans, and electrical resistance checks. Only wire achieving >120,000 hours projected life in standard test conditions receives final clearance – giving clients absolute confidence in long-term performance.

Precise Product Overview

This flexible yet robust MMO coated wire is supplied on heavy-duty wooden reels with protective end caps.

MMO Coated Rod Manufactured and Supplied for Cathodic Protection – Shipment Reaches USA

Still replacing your sacrificial anodes every 2–3 years while corrosion quietly eats your assets?

Ti Anode Fabricators Pvt. Ltd (Tiaano), based in Chennai, India, is one of the few global manufacturers with fully in-house mixed metal oxide (MMO) coating facilities since 1992. We formulate our own IrO₂-Ta₂O₅ proprietary recipe that delivers 30–40 % higher current output and twice the service life compared to generic MMO coated rods used in cathodic protection.

Role of MMO Coated Rod in Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP)

In ICCP systems, the MMO coated rod functions as a dimensionally stable anode that continuously injects protective DC current into the electrolyte (soil, seawater, or concrete) to polarize the structure to be protected. Unlike magnesium or zinc anodes, the MMO coated rod does not dissolve, maintains constant output for 20–30 years, and eliminates frequent excavation or replacement costs.

Technical Specifications of the Latest Dispatched MMO Coated Rod

• Substrate: ASTM B348 Grade 2 Titanium
• Diameter: ½ inch (12.7 mm)

CP coupons and soil corrosion probes (SCPs) can be effective tools in applying CP criteria under challenging operating environments, such as cross-bonded systems or in high resistivity soil environments.

CP coupons are used for measuring polarized ("off") or depolarized (100 mV) potentials on pipelines and other structures, and are useful in situations where these type of potentials cannot be measured easily. This is usually in situations such as cross-bonded systems or structures in fluenced by interference from CP systems not controlled by the main protected system operator, or if it is not practical to simultaneously switch off numerous sources of CP current connected to the pipeline being tested.

SCPs are used to measure the metal corrosion rate, and are connected to the structure so that they receive the same level of CP as the structure. Thus even if the measured potential reading on the structure is not at the minimum required level, the corrosion rate measurement (mils per year, or microns) can be used as an alternative criterion to asses CP effectiveness. Low levels of polarization in high resistivity soils, or erroneous potential readings due to poor soil contact are examples of situations where SCPs can be useful.
