Resinex AW-4
™
Strong base anion exchange resin
Resinex™ AW-4 is a high purity, premium grade, strongly basic gel-type anion exchange resin type 1, specially designed
for demineralisation applications in the food industry. The product is a prewashed, bead type, crosslinked polystyrenedivinylbenzene copolymer resin that offers a good resistance to physical and mechanical breakage and organic fouling.
The selected bead distribution of Resinex™ AW-4 is especially adapted for all modern counter-current systems
(i.e. Schwebebett, UPCORE,..).
