ResinTech® CG8-BL

1 of 12 products in this brand
ResinTech® CG8-BL is a dark-colored strong acid cation resin in sodium form made from a 8% cross-linked gel. CG8-BL has the same physical characteristics, regeneration efficiency, and oxidative stability as other resins in the CG8 family. CG8-BL is intended for use in all industrial applications including both softening and demineralization and is recommended for mixed beds where its dark color distinguishes it from amber-colored anion resins.

Functions: Ion Exchange Aid, Water Softener

Chemical Family: Cationics, Sulfonic Acids & Derivatives

Applicable Processes: Ammonia Removal, Boiler Water Treatment, Demineralization, Drinking Water Treatment, Groundwater Treatment, Iron Removal

Features: Good Oxidation Property

Product Highlights

Iron Removal

CG8-BL has good capacity for ferrous iron. Iron content in the feedwater should not be more than 1 mg/L Fe per each 17 mg/L of hardness.

Ammonia Removal

CG8-BL is slightly selective for ammonia compared to sodium but hardness is much more preferred. Ammonia is not ionized at pH above 9 and is not well removed when the pH is significantly alkaline.
