Q1: What is the primary functional group and ionic form of LEWATIT K 6362?
A: LEWATIT K 6362 is a strongly basic anion exchange resin in the chloride form, featuring quaternary ammonium functional groups grafted onto a styrene-divinylbenzene matrix. It is designed for efficient removal of anionic impurities, including silica, nitrate, sulfate, and organic acids.
Q2: Is LEWATIT K 6362 suitable for pharmaceutical or food-grade water polishing applications?
A: Yes — LEWATIT K 6362 is manufactured under quality systems aligned with ISO 9001 and is commonly selected for high-purity water treatment in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and food & beverage industries. Its low extractables profile and consistent performance support compliance with stringent purity requirements when used in validated systems.
Q3: How does LEWATIT K 6362 differ from conventional gel-type strong base anion resins?
A: LEWATIT K 6362 is a macroporous resin with enhanced physical stability and superior resistance to organic fouling compared to standard gel-type anion exchangers. Its rigid, high-crosslinked structure provides better hydraulic performance under variable flow conditions and improved regeneration efficiency in challenging feedwaters.
Q4: What are typical operating temperature and pH limits for this resin?
A: LEWATIT K 6362 is stable across a broad operational range, typically supporting continuous service temperatures up to 50 °C and intermittent exposure up to 60 °C. It maintains effective ion exchange capacity within pH 0–14, making it compatible with both acidic and alkaline process streams.
