Q1: What is the primary functional group and ion exchange capacity of LEWATIT NM 3367?
A: LEWATIT NM 3367 is a strongly basic anion exchange resin with quaternary ammonium functional groups (Type I). Its total exchange capacity is typically in the range of 1.2–1.4 mmol/mL (dry), depending on regeneration history and operating conditions.
Q2: Is this resin suitable for pharmaceutical or food-grade applications?
A: LEWATIT NM 3367 is designed for high-purity water treatment and process streams where low leachables and high chemical stability are required. While it meets general industrial purity standards, formal food-contact or pharmaceutical regulatory compliance must be verified case-by-case through end-product testing and relevant documentation from the resin manufacturer.
Q3: How does NM 3367 compare to standard gel-type strong base anion resins in terms of silica removal performance?
A: Due to its macroporous structure and optimized functional group density, NM 3367 offers improved kinetics and higher residual silica capacity—especially in low-conductivity service cycles—compared to conventional gel-type resins, making it well-suited for polishing applications in ultrapure water systems.
Q4: What are the recommended storage conditions to maintain resin integrity before use?
A: Store in original sealed packaging at temperatures between 5 °C and 35 °C, away from direct sunlight and strong oxidants. Avoid freezing; if exposed to sub-zero temperatures, allow gradual warming to room temperature before opening. Keep moist—do not allow the resin to dry out prior to commissioning.
