Thermax Tulsion MB 1518

Summary

Product identification

TULSION® MB – 1518 is a mixed bed ion exchange resin composed of strongly acidic cation exchange resin TULSION® T-42(NS) in hydrogen form and a strongly basic anion exchange resin TULSION® A-24 in hydroxide form. The volumetric ratio of cation to anion resin is 1:1.5. It is a ready-to-use mixture suitable for high purity DM water (Ultra Pure water).

Operating limits

• Free Chlorine: Not traceable
• Turbidity: Less than 2 NTU
• Iron and heavy metals: Less than 0.1 ppm

Feed water

TULSION® MB- 1518 is recommended for applications requiring reliable production of the highest quality water with an absolute minimum of ionic and non-ionic impurities. The resin is manufactured without the use of chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents. The volumetric ratio is optimized for maximum removal of boron, silica, and other sensitive ions.

Product water

• TOC: < 5 ppb after 80 BV
• Resistivity: > 16 Mega ohm
