AMBERLITE IR120 Na is a strongly acidic cation exchange resin made of a sulphonated polystyrene matrix that is used for water softening and demineralization. It has excellent physical and chemical stability as well as high exchange capacity. The resin has a total exchange capacity of at least 2.0 eq/L in its sodium form and can operate within a pH range of 0-14. It is suggested for use in co-flow regenerated systems with a minimum bed depth of 700 mm.

AMBERLITE IR120 Na is a gel type strongly acidic cation exchange resin of the sulphonated polystyrene type. It is used for water softening (in Na + form) as well as for water demineralisation (in H+ form) in co-flow regenerated units. Its principal characteristics are excellent physical, chemical and thermal stability, good ion exchange kinetics and high exchange capacity.

PERFORMANCE The operating capacity depends on several factors such as the water analysis and the level of regeneration. The data to calculate the operating capacity and the ionic leakage with co-flow regeneration are given in the Engineering Data Sheets : EDS 0262 A, EDS 0264 A and EDS 0265 A.
LIMITS OF USE AMBERLITE IR120 Na is suitable for industrial uses. For other specific applications such as pharmaceutical, food processing or potable water applications, it is recommended that all potential users seek advice from Rohm and Haas in order to determine the best resin choice and optimum operating conditions.
HYDRAULIC CHARACTERISTICS Figure 1 shows the bed expansion of AMBERLITE IR120 Na, as a function of backwash flow rate and water temperature. Figure 2 shows the pressure drop data for AMBERLITE IR120 Na, as a function of service flow rate and water temperature. Pressure drop data are valid at the start of the service run with a clear water and a correctly classified bed.

CAUTION
Ion exchange resins and polymeric adsorbents, as produced, contain by-products resulting from the manufacturing process. The user must determine the extent to which organic by-products must be removed for any particular use and establish techniques to assure that the appropriate level of purity is achieved for that use. The user must ensure compliance with all prudent safety standards and regulatory requirements governing the application. Except where specifically otherwise stated, Rohm and Haas Company does not recommend its ion exchange resins or polymeric adsorbents, as supplied, as being suitable or appropriately pure for any particular use. Consult your Rohm and Haas technical representative for further information. Acidic and basic regenerant solutions are corrosive and should be handled in a manner that will prevent eye and skin contact. Nitric acid and other strong oxidising agents can cause explosive type reactions when mixed with Ion Exchange resins. Proper design of process equipment to prevent rapid buildup of pressure is necessary if use of an oxidising agent such as nitric acid is contemplated. Before using strong oxidising agents in contact with Ion Exchange Resins, consult sources knowledgeable in the handling of these materials. Rohm and Haas Company makes no warranties either expressed or implied as to the accuracy of appropriateness of this data and expressly excludes any liability upon Rohm and Haas arising out of its use. We recommend that the prospective users determine for themselves the suitability of Rohm and Haas materials and suggestions for any use prior to their adoption. Suggestions for uses of our products of the inclusion of descriptive material from patents and the citation of specific patents in this publication should not be understood as recommending the use of our products in violation of any patent or as permission or license to use any patents of the Rohm and Haas Company. Material Safety Data Sheets outlining the hazards and handling methods for our products are available on request. AMBERLITE is a trademark of Rohm and Haas Company, Philadelphia, U.S.A.
