ALDEX WB-1 UPS is a macroporous tertiary amine weak base anion resin made with a Styrene/divinylbenzene matrix. It has superior kinetics and greater resistance to osmotic shock than gel type weak base resins. It has tremendous regeneration efficiency and low rinse requirements and is also capable of reversibly adsorbing large organic ions.

    Product Features
    • Organic Fouling Resistance and High Capacity Aldex WB-1 UPS tertiary amine functionality plus its macro-porous structure provides near stoichiometric regeneration efficiency and the ability to reversiblysorb naturally occurring organic substances that eventually foul all strongly basic resins. Aldex WB-1 UPS can be used in multiple bed systems to protect strongly basic resins from fouling while decreasing regenerant consumption.
    • Very low color, taste or odor Aldex WB-1 UPS meets the requirements for paragraph 21CFR 173.25 of the Food Additive Regulation of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
    • Superior Physical Stability 90% plus sphericity and high crush strengths together with a very uniform particle size provide greater resistance to bead breakage while maintaining low pressure drop.
    • Potable Water Applications The resin must be properly pre-treated, usually by multiple exhaustion and regeneration cycles, to insure compliance with extractable levels.

    Product Applications
    • Demineralization Aldex WB-1 UPS is generally intended to be used in multiple bed systems with high levels of strong acid ions such as sulfates and chlorides where its tremendous regeneration efficiency is best utilized.
    • Aldex WB-1 UPS has the ability to reversibly sorb organic molecules like the naturally occurring humic and fulvic acids that are primarily responsible for organic fouling. It can be used as a separate bed, ahead of the strong base exchanger to remove organics and strong acid ions. When used in this scheme Aldex WB-1 UPS protects the strongly basic exchanger from becoming fouled.
