PPO Edge Strips for Cathode Plates

PPO (Polyphenylene Oxide) edge strips are critical protective components for cathode plates in copper, zinc, nickel, and other hydrometallurgical electrowinning processes. Designed to withstand extreme chemical, mechanical, and thermal conditions, these strips ensure secure positioning, reduce short-circuit risks, and minimize maintenance downtime.

Key Features & Benefits

 Exceptional Durability

  • High impact strength and fatigue resistance
  • Service life exceeding 2 years under normal operating conditions

 Advanced Chemical Resistance

  • Withstands acidic electrolytes (e.g., H₂SO₄ solutions)
  • Resists oils, lubricants, and industrial solvents

 Thermal Stability

  • Operates reliably in temperatures up to 120°C

 Secure Mechanical Grip

  • Maintains consistent clamping force to prevent cathode displacement
  • Flexible design enables easy installation and removal

 Electrical Insulation

  • Prevents short circuits and energy loss in high-density cell configurations

 Low Maintenance

  • No coatings or treatments required
  • Clean with mild detergents; no degradation
