ALDEX Strong Base Anion Series
SB-1P OH UPS Strong Base Anion Exchange Resin – Hydroxide Form
Aldex SB-1P OH UPS is a high capacity, gel-type strong base type 1 anion exchange resin with a narrow bead size distribution, supplied in the hydroxide (OH) form. It is based on a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer matrix with quaternary ammonium functional groups. Aldex SB-1P OH UPS is specifically designed to give high throughput and economical operation in demineralizer applications. Because of the uniform particle size of this resin, it offers several economic advantages over conventional (i.e. Gaussian distributed) resins, including higher operating capacity or longer runs.
