Benefits of Switching to Platinized Titanium
Non-Hazardous – Lead is Hazardous for not only employees but also the environment
Sludge Formation – Chromic Acid dissolves lead creating chromate sludge in the bottom of tanks
Durability – Platinized Titanium Anodes have a much longer lifetime than lead anodes and can be re-plated rather than replaced
Weight – Platinized Titanium are significantly lighter than lead
Impacts on operations – Platinized Titanium requires no manual maintenance. With no chromate sludge, downtime is eliminated as there is no need to shutdown for cleaning
Conductivity- Increased conductivity can lead to energy savings
Dimensional Stability – Lead Anodes bend and can cause short circuits
Complex Shape Manufacturing- The ability to create custom shaped anodes for precise and uniform plating
