ION EXCHANGE RESINS

PUROPACK
PPC 100

PUROPACK PPC 100 is a new strong acid cation exchange resin with a gel-type
polystyrenic matrix and a Uniform Bead Size distribution designed for use in very efficient
systems.

Thanks to its tough gel structure and to its Uniform Bead Size distribution
PUROPACK PPC 100 has an excellent mechanical and osmotic shock stability and has
distinct advantages compared to any standard strong acid cation exchanger. In particular its
operating capacity, leakage characteristics and rinse performances are better than those of a
cation exchanger with a standard particle size distribution such as PUROLITE C 100.

PUROPACK PPC 100 chemical and physical characteristics are recalled herebelow while its
operating performances can be estimated by consulting the technical data sheets of
PUROLITE C 100 and PUROLITE C 100H, from which it differs only for its Uniform Bead
Size distribution.
