Purolite MB46IND

Summary

Product identification

• Product Name: PUROLITE® MB46IND
• Type: Mixed Bed Exchange Resin - Self Indicating
• Description: A high-quality resin mixture for direct purification of water. Changes color from blue-green to amber on exhaustion.

Application

• EDM Applications - High Capacity
• Recommended for waters containing bicarbonate, carbonate, or hydroxide ions.
• Suitable for waters with traces of iron or other metal corrosion contamination.
• Suitable for use in regenerable or non-regenerable cartridges and other ion exchange units.

Operating limits

• Temperature Limit (Non-Regenerable Bed): 100 °C (212 °F)
• Temperature Limit (Regenerable Bed): 60 °C (140 °F)
• pH Limits: 0-14

Feed water

• Passage of water at recommended flow rates can achieve almost complete reduction of total dissolved solids.

Product water

• Average Conductivity: Less than 2 µs/cm for a major portion of the service run.
• Note: Higher quality water requires ceasing production shortly prior to complete color change.
