Aldex - Model MB-5050 -Mixed Bed Resin
Aldex MB-5050 is a highly regenerated mixed bed of Type 1 strong base, gel anion exchange resin and a strong acid sulfonated polystyrene cation exchange resin, designed to provide ultra-high purity water. The special blend of Type 1 anion exchange resins with nuclear grade cation exchange resins ensures high resistance, low TOC extractables and excellent regenerable capacities for inorganic versus organic ions. Aldex MB-5050 is provided in a 50:50 anion to cation ratio (by volume).
Very Low TOC
Non-solvent sulfonation and special manufacturing processes assure very low TOC leakage.
Uniform Particle Size
98% of all beads are in the minus 16 to plus 40 mesh range giving a lower pressure drop while maintaining the superior kinetics of standard mesh size products.
Superior Physical Stability
90% plus sphericity and high crush strengths together with a very uniform particle size provide greater resistance to bead breakage while maintaining low-pressure drop.
Safety Information
A material safety data sheet is available for Aldex MB-5050. Copies can be obtained from Aldex Chemical Co., LTD. Aldex MB-5050 is not a hazardous product and is not WHMIS controlled.
Caution: Acidic and basic regenerant solutions are corrosive and should be handled in a manner that will prevent eye and skin contact. Before using strong oxidizing agents in contact with ion exchange resin, consult sources knowledgeable in the handling of these materials.
Backwash Characteristics
Aldex MB-5050 should be backwashed for at least 10 minutes after each service cycle in a conventional downflow regenerate unit. To reclassify the beads and remove suspended solids from the top of the bed, the resin bed should be expanded at least 50% according to Fig 1.
In the case of non-conventional or upflow regenerated units, it may not be necessary to follow the above procedure.
