MMO Tubular Anode for Cathodic Protection Systems
Custom MMO coated titanium tubular anodes engineered for seawater, soil, tank bottom, marine structure, offshore, water intake, pipeline, and impressed current cathodic protection applications.
Durable Cylindrical Current Output for ICCP Applications
MMO tubular anodes are selected when a durable cylindrical anode surface is required for impressed current cathodic protection systems. They are commonly reviewed for seawater, soil, marine structures, tank bottoms, water intake systems, pipelines, and other CP applications requiring stable current output.
Compared with wire or ribbon anodes, MMO tubular anodes provide a stronger three-dimensional structure and a larger cylindrical coating surface. Compared with canister anodes, tubular anodes are often used when a bare or directly mounted anode form is suitable without prepackaged backfill.

Request MMO Tubular Anode ReviewWhat Is an MMO Tubular Anode?
An MMO tubular anode is a titanium tube coated with mixed metal oxide. It is used as an anode in impressed current cathodic protection systems where current must be delivered into seawater, soil, backfill, freshwater, or other conductive environments.
The tubular shape provides a strong mechanical structure and a cylindrical active surface. This makes MMO tubular anodes suitable for marine structures, offshore systems, tank bottom protection, pipeline CP, water intake systems, and other projects where a robust anode form is needed.
| Feature | What It Means | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Titanium Tube Substrate | A titanium tube is used as the base structure. | Provides corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and a stable support for MMO coating. |
| MMO Coating | Mixed metal oxide coating is applied to the active tube surface. | Provides electrochemical activity for impressed current output. |
| Cylindrical Geometry | The anode has a round tube form with active surface around the outside. | Supports current discharge in seawater, soil, backfill, or other conductive environments. |
| Custom Connection | Cable, tab, end cap, threaded connection, or mounting structure can be customized. | Supports installation, electrical continuity, and CP system integration. |
