FAQs

What is the primary use of Purolite A860 resin? Purolite A860 is used for removing tannins and organic matter from water supplies.
How does Purolite A860 compare to polystyrene-based resins? It requires lower levels of sodium hydroxide for regeneration while offering comparable removal of weaker acids.
Can Purolite A860 be used in mixed bed systems? Yes, it can be combined with polystyrene-based resins for broader organic compound removal.
What is the temperature limit for this resin? The temperature limit is 80°C (175°F) in Cl^- form and 40°C (104°F) in OH^- form.
Is Purolite A860 NSF certified? Yes, Purolite A860 is NSF certified.
What is the typical size of the resin beads? The mean size of the resin beads is typically 0.60-0.85 mm.
What is the replacement time for this resin? The recommended replacement time is every 60 months.

Overview

Purolite A860 is a macroporous Type I strong base anion exchange resin with an acrylic matrix for removal of tannins and organic matter from water supplies. The acrylic matrix supports reversible removal upon regeneration and is particularly resistant to organic fouling, even where loadings are relatively high.

This 1/2 cube resin regenerates efficiently with lower levels of sodium hydroxide than those required for a polystyrene based Type I resin, while offering comparable removal of weaker acids including carbonic acid and silica. It can also be used in combination with a polystyrene based resin in mixed bed applications to broaden removal of organic compounds. The resin is supplied in chloride form and is NSF certified.

Installation Tips

Installation Brief

Purolite A860 is installed as replacement or fill resin in a compatible anion exchange treatment system.

Confirm the system is designed for anion exchange resin and that Purolite A860 matches the application.
Load the resin into the treatment vessel according to the equipment requirements.
Place the system back into service following the equipment startup procedure.
Regenerate the resin using the system's specified regeneration process.
Monitor operation and service performance after startup.
