Description

Ambersorb® 563 is a high-performance, synthetic carbonaceous adsorbent designed for selective purification and separation processes. Its engineered pore structure and surface chemistry make it exceptionally effective for the removal of trace impurities, color bodies, and unwanted odors from various liquid and gas streams. This product is essential for industries requiring ultra-pure intermediates or final products, such as pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and food-grade applications. The compound is identified by CAS No. 148879-45-2.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Purification: Removal of genotoxic impurities (GTIs), colorants, and process-related by-products from active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intermediates.
• Fine Chemical Processing: Decolorization and purification of sensitive organic compounds, catalysts, and specialty solvents.
• Food & Beverage Industry: Adsorption of off-flavors, odors, and contaminants in edible oils, sweeteners, and beverage precursors.
• Water Treatment: Targeted removal of specific organic micropollutants, pesticides, or halogenated compounds in industrial wastewater.
• Catalyst Protection: Guard bed application to remove poisons and extend the life of expensive downstream catalysts in continuous flow systems.
• Electronic Chemicals: Purification of high-purity solvents and etchants used in semiconductor manufacturing.

Quality Control

Our Ambersorb® 563 is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each lot is tested against critical performance parameters including adsorption capacity, pore size distribution, and purity to ensure consistent and reliable performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing lot-specific data are available upon request. We support compliance with cGMP, ISO, and other relevant quality frameworks for industrial and pharmaceutical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be stored in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C). Once opened, containers should be resealed immediately under a dry atmosphere to prevent moisture uptake, which can affect performance. Store away from strong oxidizing agents.
