PRODUCT INFORMATION

LEWATIT® MonoPlus M 500

Lewatit® MonoPlus M 500 is a strongly basic, gelular anion exchange resin with beads of uniform size
(monodisperse) based on a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer. The monodisperse beads are chemically
and osmotically highly stable. The optimized kinetics lead to an increased operating capacity compared to
ion exchange resins with heterodisperse bead size distribution.

Lewatit® MonoPlus M 500 is especially applicable for:

» the demineralization of water for industrial steam generation, e.g. Lewatit® WS System, Lewatit® Liftbed
System or Lewatit® Rinsebed System
» polishing by a Lewatit® Multistep System in combination with
Lewatit® MonoPlus S 108 H

Lewatit® MonoPlus M 500 is adding special features to the resin bed:

» high exchange flow rates during regeneration and loading


» good utilization of the total capacity
» a low demand for rinse water
» homogenous throughput of regenerants, water and solutions; therefore an homogeneous working zone
» nearly linear pressure drop gradient for the whole bed depth; therefore an operation with higher bed depth
possible

The special properties of this product can only be fully utilized if the technology and process used
correspond to the current state-of-the-art. Further advice in this matter can be obtained from Lanxess,
Business Unit Liquid Purification Technologies.

Additional Information & Regulations


Safety precautions
Strong oxidants, e.g. nitric acid, can cause violent reactions if they come into contact with ion exchange
resins.

Toxicity
The safety data sheet must be observed. It contains additional data on product description, transport,
storage, handling, safety and ecology.

Disposal
In the European Community Ion exchange resins have to be disposed, according to the European waste
nomenclature which can be accessed on the internet-site of the European Union.

Storage
It is recommended to store ion exchange resins at temperatures above the freezing point of water under
roof in dry conditions without exposure to direct sunlight. If resin should become frozen, it should not be
mechanically handled and left to thaw out gradually at ambient temperature. It must be completely thawed
before handling or use. No attempt should be made to accelerate the thawing process.

Packaging
The experience has shown that the packaging stability for reliable resin containment is limited to 24 months
under the storage conditions described above. It is therefore recommended to use the product within this
time frame; otherwise the packaging condition should be checked regularly.
