Description
Purolite C100E resin for water softener.
Purolite C100E Resin is a high-capacity resin with incredible kinetic performance, designed especially as a water softening and demineralizing system, it is widely used in industrial, commercial and domestic applications.
Water softening is a process that uses ion exchange resins to minimize the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions, these metals have the potential to cause insolubility problems in everyday water uses by forming calcium and magnesium carbonate scales, therefore Purolite C0100E Resin offers the widest range of strong acid cation gel polymeric resins.
On the other hand, Purolite C100E Resin offers outstanding physical resistance and a wide range of properties in every performance condition, especially as a water softener and demineralizer.
