Custom MMO coated titanium mesh ribbon anodes engineered for reinforced concrete cathodic protection, tank bottom CP, embedded electrochemical protection, concrete repair, and large-area distributed current output applications.
MMO Mesh Ribbon Anode Engineering
Open Mesh Current Distribution for Concrete and Large-Area CP
MMO mesh ribbon anodes provide distributed current output through an open expanded mesh structure, making them suitable for reinforced concrete CP, concrete repair, tank bottom CP, and large-area protection systems.
Compared with solid ribbon anodes, the mesh structure offers better contact with concrete, backfill, or electrolyte and supports easier embedment. Final design should be reviewed according to resistivity, chloride level, current output, mesh opening, spacing, installation method, and design life target.
Hele Titanium supports custom MMO mesh ribbon anodes with project-specific mesh opening, ribbon width, coated length, coating loading, connection method, packing, labels, and documentation according to cathodic protection project requirements.

Mesh Geometry, Coating and Current Output Must Be Reviewed Together
For MMO mesh ribbon anodes, the open mesh structure is only one part of the design. Mesh opening, ribbon width, coated length, output per meter, operating environment, contact material, layout spacing, cable connection, and installation method all affect how the mesh ribbon anode performs in a cathodic protection system.
1. Mesh Opening & Open Area
Affects contact with concrete, backfill, electrolyte, and surrounding materials.
2. Coated Length
Determines the active current output zone and must match the CP layout.
3. Current Output per Meter
Helps define the required coating loading, spacing, and system design.
4. Embedment & Connection Reliability
Embedment quality, cable sealing, termination, and electrical continuity are important for long-area installations.

Compare MMO Mesh Ribbon Anodes with Other MMO Anode Forms
MMO mesh ribbon anodes are best used when an open mesh linear anode form is needed for larger contact area, concrete embedment, or distributed current output. Other MMO anode forms may be more suitable when the project requires flexible routing, solid flat ribbon layout, packaged groundbed design, cylindrical structure, or localized output.
