DuPont™ AmberTec™ UP6150 H/OH Mixed Bed Ion Exchange Resin – 18 MΩ·cm Ultrapure Water Polishing
Product Overview
DuPont™ AmberTec™ UP6150 H/OH is a fully regenerated, separable, uniform particle size mixed bed ion exchange resin specifically designed for final polishing in ultrapure water (UPW) systems. In properly designed systems, it delivers 18 MΩ·cm resistivity water with total organic carbon (TOC) levels well below 5 ppb on its first operating cycle. This resin is ideal for low-end semiconductor, display panel, solar photovoltaic cell manufacturing, and other high-purity water applications requiring exceptional ionic and organic cleanliness.
Applications
- Final polishing mixed bed deionization in ultrapure water (UPW) systems
- Low-end semiconductor manufacturing
- Display panel production
- Solar photovoltaic (PV) cell industry
- High-purity water polishing after reverse osmosis (RO) and electrodeionization (EDI)
Compatible System Designs
- Mixed bed polishers (separate or layered bed)
- Packed bed mixed bed systems
- Refillable cartridges for portable exchange deionization (PDI / IX)
- High-purity water polishing loops
