ResinTech - Model IT-1 -Inert Resin Tribed Separation Layer for Use in Mixed Beds
ResinTech IT-1 is an inert bead form resin designed with a bead size and specific gravity in between that of active cation and anion resins. ResinTech IT-1 is intended for mixed bed demineralizers where a barrier layer of inert resin is desired surrounding the interface collector after backwash. IT-1 is supplied in an inert form.

Truly Inert
Not soluble in acids or bases, has high resistance to oxidation, contains no ion exchange functionality
High Void Space
Spherical shape creates a large void space while maintaining excellent separation between the active resin layers
Superior Physical Stability
95% plus sphericity and high crush strengths together with carefully controlled particle distribution provides long life and low pressure drop
Controlled Particle Size
20 to 40 mesh size provides a low pressure drop and superior kinetics
Mixed Bed Layer
ResinTech IT-1 is generally used as a mixed bed with a depth of 9 to 12 inches surrounding the interface collector. The beads have no cationic or anionic ion exchange capacity and do not absorb either acid or caustic. Instead they act as a barrier to prevent the chemicals from coming in contact with the opposite resin and causing unwanted absorbtion of ions. IT-1 also has a different color than either cation or anion resin and provides a visual indication that the cation and anion resins have separated properly after backwash step.
