TWL PLANODE2X3 Platinized Titanium Anode 2"x3"

In a field FULL of counterfeit and downright deceitful descriptions claiming platinized titanium anodes, you can stop here and look no further. These are absolutely what you are looking for in a platinum anode. When you need a non-reactive anode for chlorate cells or other corrosive electrolysis procedures, platinum is the way to go. So just to be sure, I performed several tests to confirm it’s platinum, including the quick and easy H2O2 check, which shows all I needed to know (but honestly, you can tell just by looking that it is plated with true platinum).That said, there’s more to it than just the platinum plate. Like, how rugged is it? Will it stand up to a particularly heavy current? How long? So I wanted to wait a while before leaving this review. As, only time will tell if I can depend on this purchase.Which, I am happy to say, I can give a five star review. I’ve been running this anode in a chlorate cell a bit over 3 months now, 7V @ 4A in a saturated KCl electrolyte and titanium cathode. This produced plenty of KClO3 at a decent rate but more importantly, I have noticed zero corrosion on the anode. It looks just as good as the day I received it.I know that’s not pushing it hard and I’m sure I could easily take it up higher, push it harder, but I’m in no rush and that seems to be the sweet spot for my setup.So what else can I say? It does its job, it’s exactly as what it is described, a decent sized platinized titanium anode. Forget MMO or messing with PbO2, this is all you need for small scale electrolysis of anything corrosive.

Excellent anti corrosive properties

The item arrived on schedule, and it seems to be a good quality electrode. It should work well for electroplating a new finish on small pieces of jewelry.

Platinum coated titanium. Ran chloride cell for many months. 5v at 40amps. Held up like a champ. This is the real deal. Bought a fake from another supplier and dissolved completely in less than a half hour.

I bought this anode and for my purposes which is a wide range of Electrochemistry projects it would tarnish so I plated it in Lead Dioxide and it's far superior now!

Just sitting. Hope to get my electroplating tanks working someday soon. I could anodize Ti. but was hoping for nickel etc.

Considering the paces I’ve been putting this anode through, the metals it is made out of would already have corroded if it was a fake product.Smaller than expected, but definitely usable.

Ordered 2x3 inches and they are no where near that size. It says 1 full micron in description, but when I asked the seller directly what the thickness was, i was told .75 microns. Whoever spot welded the handle to the mesh, burnt a hole through the mesh, ( looks very sloppy). The coating only goes up the handle maybe a quarter inch. Other than that, they don't seem to be degrading. When I invest a lot of money into something, I expect quality. Poor QC and the fact that they are not the size advertised, I give them a 2. I do not like being lied to. Just tell me the true size and let me make my own decisions. You can see in the picture that the spot weld burnt through and how the mesh cracked. SMH
