Resinex TPX-4010
™
Strong acid cation resin
Resinex™ TPX-4010 is a strongly acidic gel-type cation exchange resin. The crosslinked, polystyrene divinylbenzene
matrix provides excellent resistance to physical breakdown. Resinex™ TPX-4010 is especially developed to purify
the raw biodiesel stream after the separation step during manufacturing. The resin acts as a desiccant, a neutralizing
agent and as an ion exchange resin to remove water, leftover reactants and by-products of the esterification process.
Resinex™ TPX-4010 can be used without any pre-treatment.
