PDF datasheet mirror for Amberjet 1600 (H) (Rohm & Haas). Verify with OEM before design.
Summary
Product identification
- Product Name: AMBERJET™ 1600 H
- Product Type: Industrial Grade High Capacity Gel Cation Exchange Resin
- Manufacturer: Rohm and Haas Company
- Date of Datasheet: Feb. 08
Description
AMBERJET™ 1600 H is a uniform particle size, gel-type, strong acid cation exchange resin. It is designed for use in separable mixed-bed systems requiring high effluent purity, operating capacity, and resin life. It offers very high capacity and stability, and is particularly suited for condensate polishing in nuclear (PWR) and high-pressure fossil electric generating plants. Its high crosslinker content provides excellent physical and oxidative stability, minimizing organic leachable release and preserving the kinetic response of anion exchange resins in mixed beds.
