Description
Rohm and Haas™ AMBERJET™ 4200 CL Ion Exchange Resin | High Purity Condensate Polishing Resin
Product Overview
Rohm and Haas™ AMBERJET™ 4200 CL is a premium-grade, nuclear-quality cation exchange resin specifically engineered for condensate polishing in high-pressure power plant systems, especially in the secondary circuits of nuclear and ultra-supercritical fossil fuel power plants. This gel-type strong acid cation exchange resin is designed to operate under the most demanding water chemistry conditions, effectively removing corrosion products, trace cations, and ionic contaminants to maintain ultra-pure water quality and protect critical system components.
Key Features
• Nuclear-Grade Quality – Manufactured to exceed the stringent requirements of nuclear power plant condensate polishing applications, ensuring exceptional reliability and performance consistency.
• High Exchange Capacity – Provides superior total and operational exchange capacity, extending service cycles and reducing regeneration frequency.
• Uniform Particle Size – Advanced manufacturing process yields beads with exceptional uniformity, minimizing pressure drop and optimizing flow distribution in deep beds.
• Exceptional Physical Stability – Highly resistant to osmotic shock, thermal degradation, and mechanical attrition, even under rapid cycling and high-temperature conditions.
• Ultra-Low Leachables – Extremely low levels of leachable organic and ionic impurities prevent downstream contamination of high-purity water systems.

Typical Applications
• Condensate Polishing – Primary resin for deep-bed or mixed-bed condensate polishing units in nuclear (PWR, BWR) and high-pressure fossil fuel power plants.
• Secondary System Treatment – Removal of corrosion products and ionic contaminants in the secondary (steam-water) circuit of power generation systems.
• Ultra-Pure Water Production – Key component in polishing loops for semiconductor, microelectronics, and pharmaceutical water systems.
• Industrial High-Purity Water – Final polishing step for high-pressure boiler feedwater and critical process water applications.
System Design & Operating Guidelines
• Pretreatment: Ensure influent water meets condensate polishing standards (typically temperature < 60°C, iron < 20 ppb, no free chlorine).
• Bed Design: Typically used in deep beds (≥ 1200 mm) for optimal kinetic performance and pressure drop characteristics.
• Operating Conditions: Recommended service flow rate of 40 – 120 BV/h. Monitor pressure drop and effluent quality (specific conductivity, sodium, etc.) closely.
• Regeneration: Requires strong acid (HCl or H₂SO₄) for complete regeneration. Follow standard procedures for nuclear-grade resins, including appropriate rinse cycles.
Quality Assurance & Certification
• Manufactured under a stringent quality management system compliant with nuclear industry standards.
• Each batch is subjected to rigorous testing; a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) is available upon request.
• Traceable manufacturing and packaging process.
Packaging
• Standard: 25 Liter sealed, heavy-duty polyethylene-lined drum.
• Custom packaging and larger volumes (IBC totes, bulk) are available upon request.
