Amberlite™ Hpr4800 CL Ion Exchange Resin: Product Data Sheet

Product Data Sheet
AmberLite™ HPR4800 Cl Ion Exchange Resin

Uniform Particle Size, Gel, Strong Base Anion Exchange Resin for Industrial
Demineralization Applications
Description AmberLite™ HPR4800 Cl Ion Exchange Resin is a high-quality

resin for use in industrial demineralization applications when
high performance and cost-effective operation is required. The
chemical properties and particle size of the resin have been
optimized to help yield excellent operating capacity and rinse
characteristics, while reducing chemical regenerant and rinse
water usage.
AmberLite™ HPR4800 Cl is compatible with all system technologies; it has the flexibility

to be used in the lead single anion bed and in mixed bed polishers. In mixed bed
applications, the particle size is designed to enhance separability, and the light color of
this anion resin allows easy visual distinction from the dark-colored cation resin following
backwash separation.
Resin Pairings Recommended pairing in mixed bed applications:

l AmberLite™ HPR1200 H Ion Exchange Resin (gel)
l AmberLite™ HPR1300 H Ion Exchange Resin (gel)
Applications l Demineralization
– Ideally when treating water with:
o High percentage of silica
– When the treatment goal is:

o Removal of strong and weak acids
o Lowest silica leakage
l Mixed bed polishing
System Designs Compatible with all system technologies:

l Co-current
l Counter-current / Hold-down
l Packed beds
l Mixed beds
Historical AmberLite™ HPR4800 Cl Ion Exchange Resin has previously been sold as DOWEX
Reference MARATHON™ A Cl Ion Exchange Resin.
