Chemical Stability
Softening resin is insoluble in moderately concentrated acids and bases. The highly cross-linked gel structure is very resistant to oxidizers such as peroxide, chlorine and ozone. Resin can also operate at elevated temperatures and is well suited for hot water softening
Resin Features and Benefits
Major Applications the superior strength of softening resin makes it an ideal candidate for:
Industrial Softening (Na+ form)
Industrial De-mineralization (H+ form)
High TDS, high temperature softening
Condensate Polishing
Plating rinse metals scavenger.
High Whole Bead Counts
Resin has a 98% whole perfect bead count: lower pressure drop in service, no losses on backwash, more uniform flow distribution
Superior Physical & Oxidation Stability
The 98% plus sphericity and toughness of resin provides greater resistance to bead breakage with age and resists oxidation from chlorine, chloramine and other oxidants such as ozone and peroxide
Universal Utility
Safety Information
A material safety data sheet is available for resin. Copies can be obtained from WECO Filters. Softening resin is not a hazardous product and is not WHMIS controlled.
