The THERMAX TULSION® T-42 Na Water Softener is a premium strong acid cation exchange resin designed specifically for efficient water softening. It contains nuclear sulphonic acid groups, which provide a high ion exchange capacity for the effective removal of hardness-causing minerals like calcium and magnesium. The resin’s amber-colored, spherical beads ensure excellent physical and chemical stability. This makes the resin suitable for a broad pH range, from 0 to 14, and temperatures as high as 140°C (280°F). Consequently, it delivers long-lasting and consistent performance in a variety of industrial and commercial water treatment systems.
The resin beads range from 0.3 to 1.2 mm in size, with 95% of the particles falling within this range. This particle size distribution offers an optimal surface area for effective ion exchange. In addition, the resin maintains a moisture content of 45 ± 3% in its sodium (Na⁺) form, ensuring good hydration and smooth operation. It also has a high total exchange capacity of at least 2.0 meq/ml (Na⁺), which supports efficient softening even under heavy load conditions. Moreover, its backwash settled density ranges between 830 and 870 g/l, allowing for rapid settling during backwash cycles and improving system efficiency. The resin’s insolubility in common solvents further enhances its chemical stability and durability.
THERMAX TULSION® T-42 Na performs exceptionally well in harsh operating conditions due to its broad pH tolerance and high-temperature stability. It effectively softens water by exchanging calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions. This ion exchange prevents scale buildup in boilers, cooling towers, and other critical equipment. Furthermore, its robust design minimizes resin attrition and loss during backwash cycles. As a result, operators experience reduced maintenance costs and longer equipment life. The resin’s durability and performance make it an ideal solution for demanding industrial water treatment applications, ensuring consistent water quality and operational reliability.
