The MATCOR PL-Anode is a prepackaged platinum niobium impressed current anode and a long-life, low-weight alternative to graphite or high silicon cast iron anodes. All 2″ diameter units come prepackaged in special backfill in a heavy-duty steel canister—no additional coke breeze required.

MATCOR PL-Anodes, like our MMP™ series of products, are engineered as a superior alternative to prepackaged graphite or high silicon cast iron anodes. This anode is easy to design and install in your cathodic protection system — anodes are already sized for platinum/niobium thickness, length, resistance, and current output.
Do not operate above the recommended current output, or above 100V DC, for optimum utilization. Paralleling multiple anodes will significantly lower ground bed resistance.
MATCOR engineers and manufactures proprietary cathodic protection products in the USA, combining proven field performance with the quality systems and supply chain control that critical infrastructure demands.
Proprietary products manufactured in-house with millions of documented operating hours and reliable domestic supply chain control.
Products designed by our own corrosion engineers to solve real-world problems, not just meet spec.
ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing with structured quality control and built-in continuous improvement processes.
The specialized expertise of a corrosion engineering company combined with the systems and oversight of a $6B global industrial services organization.
From application review to delivery and field support, getting the right CP and AC mitigation materials is an engineering decision—not just a purchase. Here’s what working with MATCOR looks like.
