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.
