Which resin is right for your application?
| Resin type | Typical application |
|---|---|
| Softening ↘ | Removal of hardness minerals such as calcium and magnesium |
| Specialty selective ↘ | Targeted treatment of contaminants such as PFAS or arsenic, depending on the media |
| Mixed bed ↘ | High-purity water production and deionization polishing |
Final resin selection depends on water quality, operating conditions, and treatment goals.
Softening Resin
Softening cation resin is designed to remove hardness minerals such as calcium and magnesium from water, replacing them with sodium or hydrogen ions to prevent scale buildup and improve system efficiency. Commonly used in residential softeners, commercial water treatment, and industrial process systems, these resins provide reliable hardness reduction and extended equipment life.

Non-Solvent Cation Resin
Non-solvent cation resin offers the same effective hardness removal as traditional softening resin but is manufactured without the use of solvent-based processes. This results in cleaner production, reduced odor, and a more environmentally responsible solution without compromising performance. It is ideal for applications where sustainability, product purity, and high-quality manufacturing standards are a priority.

Macroporous Anion Resin
Macroporous anion resin is engineered for the removal of negatively charged contaminants such as nitrates, sulfates, organics, and other dissolved impurities. Its durable pore structure provides excellent resistance to fouling and oxidation, making it especially effective in challenging water conditions. These resins are commonly used in dealkalization, demineralization, and industrial process water treatment systems.
Specialty Selective Resin
Specialty resins are designed for treatment challenges beyond conventional water softening. The products below include a macroporous strong base anion resin, a PFAS-selective resin, and an arsenic-selective resin. Select media according to the contaminant, feedwater chemistry, and operating requirements.
| Resin | Ionic Form | Capacity (meq/ml) | Moisture Retention (%) | Approx. Ship Weight (lbs/cu.ft.) | Qty (cu. ft.) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SBACR-MP-HPMacroporous strong base anion resin, chloride form | Cl | 0.8 | 63 to 70 | 44 | ||
| SIR-110-HPPFAS-selective ion exchange resin, chloride form | Cl | 0.8 | 38 to 50 | 41 | ||
| ASM-10-HPArsenic-selective ion exchange resin, chloride form | Cl | 1.4 | 35 to 50 | 49 |
Mixed Bed Resin
Mixed bed resin combines cation and anion exchange resins in a single media blend to produce high-purity water by removing both positively and negatively charged ions simultaneously. Commonly used in polishing applications, laboratory systems, and high-purity industrial processes, mixed bed resin delivers exceptionally low conductivity and superior water quality for critical operations.
