Product Name: Amberlite IR-120

Type: Ion Exchange Resin

Common Uses: Amberlite IR-120 is a type of ion exchange resin that finds applications in various industrial and laboratory processes:

• Water Treatment: Ion exchange resins like Amberlite IR-120 are used in water treatment applications to remove specific ions from water, such as softening water by exchanging calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions.

• Chromatography: It is used as a stationary phase in chromatographic separations, allowing for the separation and purification of different compounds based on their affinity for the resin.

• Catalysis: Amberlite IR-120 can also be used as a catalyst support for various chemical reactions.

• Chemical Processing: It is utilized in chemical processes for separation, purification, and recovery of specific ions from solutions.

 

Other Information: Amberlite IR-120 is part of the Amberlite series of ion exchange resins produced by the Dow Chemical Company. These resins are composed of insoluble, cross-linked polymer beads with functional groups that can exchange ions with surrounding solutions.

 

In chromatography, Amberlite IR-120 is used to separate and analyze mixtures based on differences in ion exchange and affinity properties. It can be used for both analytical and preparative chromatography.
