Description :

ASHAION C 200 Na is a cost-effective, strongly acidic cation exchange resin in the sodium form, derived from crosslinked polystyrene with a gel structure. Designed primarily for standard water softening applications, it provides reliable hardness removal in both residential and industrial systems. Supplied in a moist condition, this resin offers dependable performance at an economical price point, making it ideal for routine softening needs.

Application :

ASHAION C 200 Na is engineered for economical, reliable water softening in both residential and light-industrial systems. Its gel-type resin beads deliver efficient hardness removal with minimal pressure drop, ensuring smooth flow through softener vessels. Ideal for inline softening, pretreatment to reverse-osmosis units, and boiler-feed water softeners, it regenerates easily with common salt (NaCl), simplifying maintenance and reducing operating costs.

Storage :

Ion exchange resins require consistent care to maintain their effectiveness. It is essential to prevent the resin from drying out. During storage, regularly inspect the resin by opening the plastic bags and checking its condition. If the resin appears dry, add sufficient clean demineralized water to keep it fully moist at all times.

Safety :

Acid and alkali solutions used for regeneration are corrosive and must be handled carefully to prevent contact with the eyes and skin. When using any oxidizing agents, appropriate safety precautions should be taken to prevent accidents and protect the resin from potential damage.
