Applications

AMBERLITE RF14 resin is an inert polymer with a specific gravity lower than that of water. It is developed for use as an upper layer in upflow operated ion exchange systems, such as floating beds. The suffix RF means "Reverse-flow".

Typical uses include:

1. Floating beds, totally or partially compacted, with upflow service run.
2. Conventional beds, with downflow service and upflow regeneration.

In both cases, AMBERLITE RF14 resin serves as an upper layer to prevent finer active resin from blocking strainers. It also improves the distribution or collection of water or regenerant above the resin bed.

Limits of use

AMBERLITE RF14 resin is suitable for industrial uses. For specific applications like pharmaceutical, food processing, or potable water, consult Rohm and Haas for resin choice and operating conditions.
