Additional Information & Regulations

• Safety precautions: Strong oxidants, e.g. nitric acid, can cause violent reactions if they come into contact with ion exchange resins. The safety data sheet must be observed.
• Disposal: In the European Community, ion exchange resins must be disposed of according to the European waste nomenclature.
• Storage: It is recommended to store ion exchange resins at temperatures above the freezing point of water, under roof in dry conditions without exposure to direct sunlight. If resin becomes frozen, it should thaw gradually at ambient temperature before handling or use.
