Unique-patented edge strip technology, that offers significant savings in the maintenance and repairment costs of cathode plates.
Cathodex began operations in 1996 as a development company of SKM Teollisuusmuovit Oy. The company focused on the development and innovation of different production technologies for cathode plates.
In 1984 SKM Teollisuusmuovit Oy began to offer maintenance services to cathode plates and with time Cathodex Oy specialized in cathode plate´s manufacturing and repairing technologies.
At the end of 1990´s Cathodex sold its first cathode plates, based on its own permanent edge strip technology. The following years the company strongly invested in the development of an automatic production line technology to manufacture and process complete cathode plates.
Cathodex technology was developed to overcome the inherent disvadvantages of conventional edge strips.
