This industrial anion resin features a crosslinked macroporous polystyrene matrix with Type I Quaternary Ammonium functional groups, operating in a standard chloride (Cl⁻) ionic form. Its spherical beads are optimized to handle heavy organic loading, functioning as a reliable organic scavenger to remove yellow-brown organic acids while maintaining stable pressure drop characteristics across the bed. The media complies with strict industry safety standards and holds Kosher, Halal, and WQA to NSF/ANSI-61 certifications for food-grade processing and drinking water applications. Purolite A502PS retains its physical integrity over extended operation cycles and undergoes complete regeneration using a standard sodium chloride (NaCl) brine solution.

Removal Capabilities:

  • Organic Decolorization: Efficiently extracts complex color-forming organic compounds and organic acids from cane and starch sugar solutions to make liquids perfectly clear.

  • Organic Matter Reduction: Functions as an effective organic scavenger, trapping high concentrations of natural organic matter (NOM) like humic and fulvic acids from water supplies.
