Description

AmberLite™ FPC336 H is a weak acid cation exchange resin with carboxylic groups on an acrylic matrix. It offers a high exchange capacity and reduced volume variation compared to conventional carboxylic resins. This resin is designed for dealkalization in potable water applications and for treating water used in the food industry.

Start-up

The resin is ready for use. Commissioning requires a 20-bed volume rinse with the water to be treated, provided the resin has been stored below 25°C, protected from UV radiation, and used within 6 months of the production date.
