Description
Type I Anion Resin for Organic Scavenging
Franklin FWXA213 is an industrial-grade macroporous Type I strong base anion exchange resin. It is used for water demineralization, organic scavenging and sugar decolorization.
The resin has a polyacrylic matrix crosslinked with divinylbenzene (DVB). Its macroporous structure adsorbs soluble organic molecules and supports their release during regeneration. It also provides resistance to oxidation, osmotic shock and mechanical stress.
FWXA213 can be used in multi-bed demineralization systems to help protect downstream resin from organic fouling. It is supplied in chloride form or hydroxide form when ordered as FWXA213-OH.

How FWXA213 Supports Organic Removal
Dissolved organic material can foul anion resin and reduce its operating performance. FWXA213 uses a macroporous structure that allows soluble organic molecules to reach the resin's active sites.
Its polyacrylic matrix also supports the release of adsorbed organics during regeneration. This makes FWXA213 suitable for organic scavenging and pretreatment before downstream resin beds.
Actual performance depends on the feed-water chemistry, organic loading, bed design, flow rate and regeneration procedure.
Selecting the Correct Resin
Choose FWXA213 when the treatment system requires a macroporous Type I anion resin for organic scavenging or demineralization pretreatment. Before ordering, confirm:
- Feed-water analysis
- Required resin volume
- Service flow rate
- Regeneration method
- Chloride or hydroxide ionic form
- Tank size and minimum bed depth
- Intended treatment objective
