MMO-Coated Titanium Wire Anodes for Cathodic Protection
HELE manufactures custom MMO-coated titanium wire anodes with project-specific diameter, active coated length, coating direction and cable connection for compact and distributed cathodic-protection applications.
Share the protected structure, operating environment, required current output, preferred wire diameter, active length, cable connection and design-life requirement.
MMO Wire Anode vs Linear Anode Assembly
An MMO wire anode is an MMO-coated titanium wire used as the active electrochemical electrode. It can be supplied with project-specific coated length, cable connection, termination or sealing, but it is not the same as a complete packaged MMO linear anode assembly.
MMO Wire Anode
MMO-coated titanium wire supplied as a flexible active electrode with project-defined diameter, coated length and optional cable / termination requirements.
MMO Linear Anode Assembly
A complete distributed-current assembly designed for long-run ICCP installations, with additional conductor, backfill and protective assembly components according to the Linear Anode design.
Wire Diameter, Coil Length & Surface Area
Wire diameter affects flexibility, mechanical handling and available active surface area. Active coated length can be adjusted according to the installation layout and CP design.
| Wire Diameter | Standard Coil Length | Approx. Weight / Coil | Approx. Surface Area / Coil |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0 mm | 152 m | 0.54 kg | 0.48 m² |
| 1.5 mm | 152 m | 1.20 kg | 0.72 m² |
| 2.0 mm | 152 m | 2.10 kg | 0.95 m² |
| 3.0 mm | 152 m | 4.80 kg | 1.43 m² |
Note: Standard wire diameter references are shown above. Active coated length, total supplied length and project-specific wire diameter can be reviewed according to order requirements.
MMO Wire Anode Technical Data
Final wire diameter, active length, MMO coating, cable connection and order documentation should be confirmed against the operating environment and cathodic-protection design.

Current Output Depends on the Operating Environment
MMO wire output should be reviewed against active surface area, coating requirement, operating environment, current density and design-life basis rather than assigned from wire diameter alone.
Active Surface Area
Wire diameter and active coated length define the available working surface.
Environment
Concrete, soil, fresh water, brackish water and seawater have different conductivity and operating conditions.
Coating Requirement
Coating family and loading should be matched to the environment and required electrical duty.
Design-Life Basis
Required output and life should be reviewed together under the specified project conditions.
Custom MMO Wire Anodes Built Around Your CP Design
Wire diameter, active coated length, MMO coating, current requirement, cable connection and installation geometry can be reviewed around the protected structure and cathodic-protection design.
Where MMO Wire Anodes Are Used
MMO wire anodes are selected where a compact, flexible active electrode is needed and the installation requires controlled routing, spacing or embedment.
Reinforced Concrete & Embedded CP
Compact wire geometry supports routed or embedded cathodic-protection layouts where current must be distributed along defined repair or protection zones.
Tank Bottom Protection
MMO wire can be incorporated into engineered tank-bottom CP layouts where anode spacing and current distribution are defined by the system design.
Pipeline & Buried Structure CP
Wire anodes can be reviewed for compact pipeline, corridor and buried-structure applications where flexible routing or localized distributed output is required.
Water & Conductive Environments
MMO wire can be reviewed for fresh water, brackish water and seawater applications when coating selection, electrical loading and cable sealing are matched to the environment.
Wire, Connection & Order Verification
Titanium Wire Review
Wire grade, diameter, surface condition and required active length are reviewed against the agreed order specification.
MMO Coating & Active Length
