ResinTech SIR-500 is a sodium form macroporous chelating weak acid cation resin. SIR-500 has unique aminophosphonic chelating functionality and is particularly selective for alkaline earth metals such as calcium. SIR-500 is intended for removal of hardness from saturated brine and for removal of divalent metals such as copper and nickel from wastewater and various process streams. SIR-500 is supplied in the sodium form, can be special ordered in the hydrogen form (as SIR-500-H), or in the buffered form (as SIR-500 pH ADJ).
