LANXESS increases prices for ion exchange resins Effective April 15, 2008, specialty chemicals group LANXESS will increase its prices worldwide for the Lewatit and Ionac ion exchange resins ranges.
In Europe and Japan the prices for Lewatit* and Ionac* ion exchange resins will rise by 7 to 9 percent and in the NAFTA region by 12 to 15 percent. In the APAC region – excluding Japan – the prices are being raised by 15 to 18 percent. The reasons for the measure are the continued very high cost of the raw materials and the increase in energy prices, which also lead to more expensive transportation. The premium products of the Ion Exchange Resins business unit play an instrumental role in industrial water treatment, food processing, the purification of water and manufacture of ultrapure water and the remediation of contaminated areas, such as those with a high arsenic content. . Water (industrial water treatment, potable water, ultrapure water) - The treatment of water is the best-known and biggest field of application for ion exchange resins. Constantly mounting specifications regarding the quality of the treated water are making ever higher demands on the suppliers. Lewatit has the right ion exchange resins and the right processes to meet just about any set of requirements. . Foodstuffs (treatment of solutions for the food production) - Ion exchange resins are an established and indispensable part of the food industry. Within the large Lewatit product range, the grades developed specifically to comply with the specifications of the food industry are identified by a letter "S" in their name. Ion exchange resins and adsorbers play a key role in the technique of separation by liquid-solid partition. Often, there is no alternative for isolating, concentrating and purifying valuable materials from the liquid phase. . Catalysis and Chemicals processing (treatment of waste water and process streams in the chemical industry) - Ion exchange resins are not only used in classical aqueous demineralisation processes but also as catalysts, adsorbers and in selective ion exchange. By tailoring the polymer structure and group functionality to the requirements of the application, Lewatit resins are the first choice in chemicals processing and environmental applications. . Hydroponics - HD50 - For many years Lewatit plant fertilizers have been used for the sucessful nutrient supply of hydroponics. During watering they release all essential nutrients which are not contained in the water. Based on a water-insoluble polymer-matrix HD 50 plays an important role in the sector of long-term fertilization for a healthy plant development. With Lewatit, even the most sophisticated separation processes can be
performed easily. Lewatit plays a major role in ensuring on-spec purity
and durability, while giving the purified product a pleasant taste and
good appearance. Detailed information can be found on the internet at the Lewatit website. If you're an employer looking to fill a job opening, click here to find out about posting your job listing through Jobwerx.com. See all the Press Releases from LANXESS sites. Read a recent article about -
