AMBERLYST™ Polymeric Catalysts and Ion Exchange Resins
Strong Acid Cations - Sorted in alpha-numerical order
AMBERLYST™ polymer based catalysts and ion exchange resins involve mostly the use of functionalized styrene divinylbenzene copolymers with different surface properties and porosities. The functional group is generally of the sulphuric acid type. These resins are supplied as gellular or macroreticular spherical beads. AMBERLYSTT polymeric resins have been used for 40 years in a wide variety of reactions and purification processes.
Amberlyst resins have been optimized for their particular application
over the past 40 years and represent in many applications the benchmark
of the industry. They have been developed in respect to conversion and
selectivity, prolonged lifetime, chemical and physical stability, and
capacity.
