AmberLite HPR1300 H

Summary

Product identification

AmberLite™ HPR1300 H Ion Exchange Resin is a uniform particle size, gel, strong acid cation exchange resin. It was previously sold as DOWEX MARATHON™ 1300 H Ion Exchange Resin.

Applications

• Demineralization (especially where high oxidant levels or high temperatures on the cation resin are present; single bed industrial demineralization requiring high water purity)
• Condensate polishing
• Mixed bed polishing

System Designs

Compatible with:

• Co-current
• Counter-current / Hold-down
• Layered beds
• Packed beds
• Mixed beds

Hydraulic Characteristics

Estimated bed expansion and pressure drop data are available in Figures 1 and 2, respectively, as a function of backwash flowrate, service flowrate, temperature, and time. These figures are valid for temperatures between 10 – 60°C (50 – 140°F).

Product Stewardship and Customer Notice

DuPont emphasizes product stewardship, requiring customers to review manufacturing processes and applications to ensure safe and appropriate use. Consult Safety Data Sheets before use. WARNING: Oxidizing agents like nitric acid can degrade ion exchange resins and may cause exothermic reactions (explosions).
