Iridium Oxidation Catalyst

Iridium Oxidation Catalyst

Performance coating for electrowinning

Paint-on anti-corrosion layer reduces power costs and extends the useful life of electroplating anodes. “Blue Solution” is a self-assembling monolayer of Iridium Oxide that preserves the clean wetted-area of the anode and mitigates soluble lead formation.

  • Dip coat application, self-assembles - no electrodeposition.
  • 6% reduction in power costs.
  • Several fold increase in useful life of the permanent anode.
  • Reduce soluble lead in waste water.
  • Prevents buildup of sulfate/chromate layers and flaking.
  • Synthesis cost $0.75/m2.
  • Stable under field conditions (tolerates organics, binders)
