DuPont™ AmberLite™ FPA98 Cl Ion Exchange Resin
Food- and Biopharmaceutical-grade, Acrylic, Macroporous, Strong Base Anion
Exchange Resin for Sugar Cane Decolorization and Biopharmaceutical Processing
Description DuPont™ AmberLite™ FPA98 Cl is an acrylic, macroporous, Type I strong base anion resin that has been specifically designed for decolorization in a variety of food, beverage, and biopharmaceutical applications. Ion exchange based decolorization technology has been used more effectively and economically than carbon or bone char-based technologies. Sugar refiners, soft drink bottlers, and biopharmaceutical
manufacturers around the world have installed AmberLite™ FPA98 Cl to successfully decolorize heavily-colored solutions.
Cane Sugar Decolorization
AmberLite™ FPA98 Cl Resin is an excellent choice for cane sugar decolorization, offering advantages such as:
l Specially designed for the decolorization of highly colored (i.e.500 ICUMSA)
liquid sugar syrups
l Excellent desorption of the organic color bodies during regeneration, reducing
the fouling associated with other types of resin such as those based on
crosslinked polystyrene
l Excellent physical stability and resistance to osmotic shock
Acrylic AmberLite™ FPA98 Cl resin can be used as a single component for gross decolorization for highly colored solutions or preceding a styrenic resin, such as AmberLite™ FPA900 UPS Cl, AmberLite™ FPA90RF Cl, or AmberLite™ FPA90 Cl Ion Exchange Resins, where the styrenic resin is used as a polisher for very low color final products.
Biopharmaceutical Processing
AmberLite™ FPA98 Cl Resin is an excellent resin for the decolorization of high molecular weight organic color bodies in many bioprocessing applications such as natural product extraction and recovery of antibiotics from fermentation broth, offering advantages such as:
l Effective adsorption of high molecular weight organics
l Low organic fouling properties, typical of an acrylic matrix, due to excellent desorption of the organic color bodies during regeneration
Applications l Suger cane decolorization
l Bio processing decolorization
l Heparin purification
