Weak Acid Cation (WAC) Exchangers

 

Weak Acid Cation (WAC) ion exchange resins are primarily used for water dealkalization and softening, but also can be applied for the removal of heavy metals in potable, process and wastewater treatment. They are also used in drinking water cartridges, pharmaceutical and biotech applications.

 

All weak acid cation resin products have a polyacrylic backbone. The functional carboxylic groups give high chemical efficiency, with very low regenerant demand.

 

They are typically supplied in H⁺ form, but they are also available with partial conversion in Na⁺/Mg²⁺/Ca²⁺ form
