Lanxes-s LEWATIT MDS 1368 Ca 290 Ion Exchange Resin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary functional form of LEWATIT MDS 1368 Ca 290?

A: LEWATIT MDS 1368 Ca 290 is supplied in the calcium (Ca²⁺) form, optimized for selective removal of multivalent cations such as heavy metals and hardness ions from aqueous streams.


Q2: Is this resin suitable for potable water treatment applications?

A: Yes — when regenerated and operated in accordance with local drinking water regulations, LEWATIT MDS 1368 Ca 290 is commonly used in municipal and point-of-use systems for targeted softening and trace metal reduction, provided system design includes appropriate pre-filtration and regeneration protocols.


Q3: How does MDS 1368 Ca 290 differ from standard gel-type cation resins?

A: It features a macroporous matrix with high physical stability and low pressure drop, offering superior kinetic performance and resistance to fouling in challenging feedwaters containing organic matter or suspended solids compared to conventional gel-based resins.


Q4: Can this resin be regenerated, and what are typical regenerants?

A: Yes — it is fully regenerable using common inorganic salts such as sodium chloride (NaCl) or calcium chloride (CaCl₂), depending on the target ion recovery strategy and process requirements. Regeneration efficiency depends on flow rate, concentration, and contact time.
