Thermo Scientific™ Amberlite® IRA-410 (Cl) ion-exchange resin

Thermo Scientific™ Amberlite® IRA-410 (Cl) is a strong base anion (SBA) exchange resin in chloride (Cl⁻) form, designed for high-performance deionization, water purification, and chemical processing applications. This gel-type, polystyrene-divinylbenzene resin features quaternary ammonium functional groups that efficiently remove anionic contaminants, including sulfates (SO₄²⁻), nitrates (NO₃⁻), bicarbonates (HCO₃⁻), and organic acids from aqueous solutions.

Amberlite® IRA-410 (Cl) is optimized for industrial water treatment, ultrapure water production, and wastewater treatment. With low uniformity coefficient, controlled particle size distribution, and high moisture-holding capacity, this resin provides high exchange capacity, fast kinetics, and long operational life in both batch and continuous ion exchange systems.

Key Features & Benefits

1. High-Capacity Strong Base Anion (SBA) Exchange Resin
