Description

Amberlite(R) XAD-1180 is a macroreticular, cross-linked polystyrene-divinylbenzene adsorbent resin designed for high-performance purification and separation processes. This non-ionic polymeric adsorbent is valued for its exceptional surface area, pore structure, and chemical stability, enabling the selective removal of organic compounds from aqueous and non-aqueous streams. It is a critical component for industries requiring high-purity products, including pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and environmental remediation.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Purification: Isolation and purification of antibiotics, vitamins, steroids, and other active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from fermentation broths or reaction mixtures.
• Wastewater Treatment: Removal of phenolic compounds, aromatic solvents, pesticides, and other hazardous organic pollutants from industrial effluent.
• Food & Beverage Processing: Decolorization of sugar syrups, purification of fruit juices, and recovery of valuable food-grade compounds.
• Natural Product Extraction: Concentration and purification of plant extracts, flavors, fragrances, and nutraceuticals.
• Chemical Synthesis: Catalyst recovery, by-product removal, and purification of intermediates in fine chemical and specialty chemical manufacturing.
• Analytical Sample Preparation: Used as a solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent for the preconcentration and clean-up of analytes prior to HPLC or GC analysis.
