Anode Bags

As anodes dissolve in an electroplating solution, small particles can circulate through the solution and cause roughness and other visual defects. Anode bags are used to help keep any particulate matter from entering the solution.  Anode bags are custom manufactured to each customer’s anode basket or slab anode specifications. When requesting a quote, please provide the following information:
