Our Range of Ion Exchange Resins

Cation Ion Exchange Resins

The cationic ion exchange resins are composed of a negatively charged functional group that attracts positively charged ions from liquid streams.

  • Strong Acid Cation (SAC) Resins: SAC resins are made of polystryene with sulfonate functional groups (-SO3-), charged with sodium ions (Na2+) or hydrogen ions (H+).
  • Weak Acid Cation (WAC) Resins: WAC resins are comprised of acrylic polymer with a carboxylic acid functional group and exhibit high affinity for hydrogen ions.

Anion Exchange Resins

The anion exchange resins contain amine as a functional group, which comprises a positively charged functional group that attracts negatively charged ions in a solution.

  • Strong Base Anion (SBA) Resins: SBA resins comprise a polystyrene matrix that has undergone chloromethylation and amination to dimethylamine. These resins attract chloride ions or hydroxide ions during exchange.
  • Weak Base Anion (WBA) Resins: WBA resins are also composed of a polystyrene matrix. The degree of ionization relies on the pH of the solution. These ion exchange resins are used as an acid absorber for eliminating anions from strong mineral acids.

Applications of Ion Exchange Resins

Ready-to-Use Mixed Supercharged Resins

As an ion exchange resin supplier in India, we offer a complete range of resins for diverse applications. To suit your specific application, we offer a choice of gel viz microporous or macroporous structure. Our supercharged resins are speciality resins employed for the selective removal of specific metals or substances. The ready-to-use resins are a mix of cation and anion resins that remove different minerals from water & other fluids. They are engineered with different densities so they don’t mix with each other and are easier to regenerate.

Ion Exchange Resins for Water Softening

W.A.C. resins are developed for water softening applications for their efficacy and high adsorption capacity. As an ion exchange resin exporter in India, we provide a complete range of resins for diverse water treatment applications across the globe. These resins exhibit affinity for magnesium and calcium ions, ideal for commercial, residential and industrial water softening applications. With lower rinse volumes, high capacity and extended service life, W.A.C. resins are a preferred choice.

Ion Exchange Resins for Water Purification

The resin systems have revolutionized the water purification industry. They have the ability to purify solutions with toxic metal ions by replacing them with innocuous sodium and potassium ions. Hazardous contaminants such as chromium, arsenic and lead are removed using anion exchange resins, ensuring safe and clean water.

Ion Exchange Resins for Mining & Metallurgy

Ion exchange resins are extensively used in the extraction of high-purity copper, nickel, lithium and platinum for the efficient refining process. Our resin systems offer fantastic performance to bind specific metal ions selectively. As one of the most trusted ion exchange resin suppliers in India, we offer tailored speciality resins for the extraction, separation and concentration of rare earth metals.

Ion Exchange Resins for Catalytic Applications

Another popular application we, as an ion exchange resin company in India, offer our product for is catalytic applications. Resin systems efficiently replace acids, alkalis and metal ion catalysts in different chemical reactions like hydrolysis, alkylation, inversions, polymerization and hydration reactions. With tailored surface area, porosity and matrix, our catalyst resins are suitable for applications including pharmaceutical, food & beverage, hydrometallurgy, chemical & others, offering an optimal solution for water and non-water treatment requirements.

Best-fit Ion Exchange Resins Range

Find the right resin system to enhance efficiency, reduce costs & ensure regulatory compliance.

Choose W.A.C. as Your Trusted Ion Exchange Supplier in India

Western Adsorbents & Catalysts has been a pioneer in resin system technology for 55+ years. Resins are polymers with an insoluble matrix structure available in forms of micro/macro beads, made from an organic polymer substrate. Our resins exhibit an impressive porous structure and large surface area that traps specific ions selectively and releases other ions. From water purification, water softening, demineralization, distillation to non-water treatment applications like catalysis in chemical reactions, drug formulation and metal recovery in the mining industry, our resins are tailored for your unique requirements.
