Basics of Ion Exchange

DOWEX™ ion exchange resins include a broad line of cation and anion resins for use in multiple bed and mixed bed demineralization, condensate polishing, nuclear applications, as well as other demanding applications. The line of DOWEX resin products include both gel (or microporous) and macroporous resins, all incorporating uniform particle size (UPS) technology for improved resin bed kinetics and more efficient rinsing.

Most DOWEX ion exchange resins are based on styrene copolymerized with divinylbenzene (DVB), the preferred matrices for ion exchange resins because of their significant capacity and stability advantages. Some DOWEX resins have acrylic structures to take advantage of the specific properties and performance of these matrices.
