Key Properties
Zerolite 225 (Na form, 14-52 mesh) is a strongly acidic cation-exchange resin that is primarily composed of sulfonated polystyrene. This resin is notable for its high capacity for cation exchange, making it an essential material in various applications, particularly in water treatment and analytical chemistry. The resin's structure allows for effective removal of divalent and monovalent cations from solutions, which is crucial in processes such as water softening and ion-exchange chromatography. Its specific mesh size of 14-52 indicates a suitable particle size for optimal flow rates and exchange efficiency in column applications.
Also known as Cation-exchange resin, Ion-exchange resin.

Zerolite 225 is widely used in water softening applications, where it effectively removes calcium and magnesium ions from hard water, thus preventing scale formation in pipes and appliances. In ion-exchange chromatography, it serves as a stationary phase for the separation of various cations, making it invaluable in analytical laboratories for purifying and analyzing chemical compounds. Additionally, it finds applications in the food and beverage industry for deionizing water and in pharmaceuticals for the purification of active ingredients. Its versatility extends to environmental applications, where it is used for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater.
