High-Performance Platinised FRP Insulated Strip – NS Manufactured and Supplied by Ti Anode Fabricators Pvt. Ltd. for Cathodic Protection
Understanding the Science of Long-Term Cathodic Protection in Aggressive Environments
Cathodic protection remains the most reliable method to prevent corrosion in critical infrastructure such as pipelines, jetties, offshore structures, and concrete-embedded steel. Impressed current systems demand anodes that deliver consistent current output, exceptional durability, and minimal maintenance over decades. Ti Anode Fabricators Pvt. Ltd. (Tiaano), Chennai’s leading specialist in noble metal coated electrochemical solutions, excels in delivering advanced Platinised FRP Insulated Strip – NS anodes engineered precisely for demanding cathodic protection applications.
Precision-Engineered Design: The Platinised FRP Insulated Strip – NS
The Platinised FRP Insulated Strip – NS (Master Anode with Platinum Plated Slave Anode) is a high-efficiency impressed current anode optimized for cathodic protection in soil, freshwater, and seawater environments.
Detailed Technical Specifications:
- Overall Dimensions: 650 mm long × 180 mm width × 34 mm thickness
- Active Area: Platinum-coated zone – 30 mm width × 500 mm length
- Construction: Titanium substrate + Platinum electroplating + FRP insulation encapsulation
- Configuration: Master anode integrated with platinum-plated slave anode for uniform current distribution
This compact, high-surface-area design of the Platinised FRP Insulated Strip – NS ensures low operating voltage, high current density capability (up to 50–100 A/m² in seawater), and outstanding throw in cathodic protection systems.
Successful Indian Installations – Proven Reliability in Real-World Service
Ti Anode Fabricators Pvt. Ltd. has manufactured and supplied numerous Platinised FRP Insulated Strip – NS units for major cathodic protectionprojects across India, including cross-country pipelines, port jetties, and coastal structures. These installations continue to demonstrate exceptional performance with negligible consumption rates and stable potential control even after years of continuous operation.
Why Platinum-Plated Titanium + FRP Insulation is the Optimal Choice
The core substrate of the Platinised FRP Insulated Strip – NS is high-purity Titanium (Grade 1 or 2), selected for its:
- Outstanding corrosion resistance in oxygen-evolving environments
- Excellent mechanical strength and formability
- Compatibility with impressed current densities
A thin, uniform Platinum electroplating (typically 2.5–5 microns) is applied to the active surface, providing:
- Extremely low oxygen and chlorine evolution overpotentials
- High catalytic efficiency and current-carrying capacity
- Extended anode life (often 20+ years in moderate current applications)
The FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) insulation fully encapsulates non-active areas, preventing stray current losses, shielding against mechanical damage, and ensuring safe, focused current discharge in cathodic protection installations.
Stringent Quality Assurance – Engineered for Zero-Defect Performance
Every Platinised FRP Insulated Strip – NS undergoes Tiaano’s rigorous multi-stage quality protocol:
- Raw titanium certification and surface preparation
- Precision electroplating of platinum with controlled thickness verification (XRF/SEM)
- Adhesion testing (bend & tape tests per ASTM standards)
- FRP encapsulation with high-dielectric-strength resin and void-free lamination
- Electrical continuity, insulation resistance (>100 MΩ), and dimensional checks
- Final current distribution mapping and visual/NDE inspection
This uncompromising process guarantees long service life and consistent performance in the most challenging cathodic protection environments.
Elevating Cathodic Protection Standards with Advanced Platinised Technology
By integrating the Platinised FRP Insulated Strip – NS into your impressed current system, asset owners achieve superior corrosion control, reduced retrofit frequency, lower lifecycle costs, and compliance with international standards such as NACE SP0177 and ISO 15589.
