MATCOR Graphite Anodes were developed for customers who want extra protection for the anode lead wire connection. Produced with our high-quality treating and sealing processes, these are the finest graphite anodes available today.

Use our Bare Graphite Anodes for:

• Ground bed applications
  
• Marine applications
  

MATCOR Graphite Anodes have an exceptionally uniform internal structure and are available plain or treated and bare or prepackaged.

For center-connected anodes, the connection is placed in the center of the anode in a cavity made to close tolerances by computer technology. On-center connections are assured every time. End-connected anodes utilize the same connection process as our center-connected anodes, providing the same proven connection reliability. Once the low-resistance connection is made, the anode’s pullout strength exceeds that of the cable. Further steps add sealants and additional protection. Our Graphite Anodes can be manufactured with an epoxy cap or, if you prefer, a heat-shrink cap.

We recommend treating graphite anodes with the MATCOR vacuum/pressure process. This complete treatment fills all voids in the anode, assuring a trouble-free life, regardless of which MATCOR lead wire connection is used.
