Aquatrol CAT100E Cation Resin: A High-Purity, Premium Solution for Food, Beverage, and Water Treatment

Aquatrol CAT100E is a high-grade cation resin designed for the treatment of foods, beverages, potable waters, and water used in food processing. This resin complies with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (USFDA) CFR 21, Title 173.25 for use in the treatment of foods for human consumption.

The resin's excellent hydraulic characteristics ensure optimal flow rate and backwash flow rates, while its high capacity and porosity provide exceptional kinetic behavior and good physical, chemical, and thermal stability. Aquatrol CAT100E is insoluble in dilute or moderately concentrated acids, alkalies, and common solvents, and is thermally stable up to 248°F (120°C) in alkali's such as sodium or alkaline earth like calcium and magnesium salt forms.
