Summary

Product identification

AmberLite™ HPR2000 H Ion Exchange Resin

Description

A uniform particle size, macroporous, strong acid cation exchange resin for condensate polishing and mixed bed demineralization applications in the power industry. It is intended for use in mixed bed polishing applications requiring the highest resin purity and water quality. The resin offers exceptional physical and oxidative stability due to its high DVB crosslinker content and macroporous structure. It also exhibits high sodium selectivity, enabling longer runtimes in amine cycle operation. The chemical stability makes it suitable for high-temperature operation.

AmberLite™ HPR2000 H can operate reliably under high flowrate and pressure drop conditions typical in condensate polishers. Its particle size uniformity and color allow for excellent backwash separation when used in mixed beds with AmberLite™ HPR9000 OH Ion Exchange Resin.
