PDF datasheet mirror for IRN 217 (Rohm & Haas). Verify with OEM before design.
Summary
Product identification
- Product Name: AMBERLITE™ IRN217 Resin
- Product Type: Li⁷/OH Nuclear Grade Mixed Bed Resin
- Intended Use: For the Power Industry, specifically primary water chemistry control in PWR nuclear power operations.
Description
AMBERLITE™ IRN217 is a high-purity, uniform particle size mixed bed resin. It consists of a stoichiometric mixture of a fully converted strong acid cation exchange resin in the Lithium (Li⁷) form and a strong base anion exchange resin in the hydroxide (OH⁻) form. The resin is designed for high capacity and exhibits excellent resistance to bead fracture from attrition and osmotic shock.
