AmberLite-62i

Summary

Product identification

• Product Name: AmberLite™ 62i Inert Resin
• Description: Floating, non-functionalized, transparent, amorphous-shaped polyethylene resin designed for use as an upper layer in up-flow regenerated ion exchange systems. It has a specific gravity lower than water to remain above the ion exchange resin bed and self-distributing properties to cover the cross-sectional area, forming a protective layer.
• Historical Reference: Previously sold as DOWEX UPCORE™ IF-62 Inert Resin.

Applications

• Demineralization
• Industrial softening
• Condensate polishing

System Designs

• Packed beds: For UPCORE™ Packed Bed Systems or other up-flow regenerated packed beds, configured as a layered bed.
• Counter-current / Air hold-down
