Its specification is such that it will exceed the relevant EEC requirements, and the resin is in compliance with the U.S. Food \u0026amp; Drug Administration Code of Federal Regulations section 21, paragraph 173.25; for use in the treatment of foods for human consumption. Its high bead integrity, excellent chemical and physical stability, and very low extractibles content play a large part in its successful employment in these areas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: domestic\/industrial\/fFood grade softening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolymer structure: gel polystyrene crosslinked with divinylbenzene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppearance: spherical beads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunctional group: sulphonic acid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIonic form as shipped: Na+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoftening Ion Exchange Resin Life\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoftening resins, or for that matter, all ion exchange resins, life is reduced by chlorine in the feed water. Resin life was discussed in detail in PURONEWS - Volume 1 Issue 5 - May 2001. Standard resins such as PUROLITE C100 or C100E can withstand a chlorine residual of 0.2 - 0.5 without a drastic life reduction. At levels of 1 ppm or higher the life will be significantly shortened. Each 1 ppm of chlorine, on a continuous basis, will reduce resin life by one half. Softening resins should have a life of 10 years or more on chlorine free water. We have seen life of over 30 years in many cases. If you have a high chlorine residual in the feed water, it is best to remove the chlorine. Second best is to use a softening resin that has a higher DVB crosslinking.\u003cbr\u003eThe primary cause of reduced life on chlorine bearing waters is the chlorine attacks the DVB crosslinking in resin. Where standard softening resins have an 8% DVB crosslinking these resins have from 10% to as much as 20% DVB crosslinking. More DVB means longer resin life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e C100E is food grade resin and made in the USA.
