Purolite A860 Tannin Removal Resin

Purolite A860

Purolite A860 is a macroporous Type I strong base anion exchange resin with an acrylic matrix. It is designed for removal of tannins and organic matter from water supplies, with reversible removal upon regeneration. The 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.
