No Organic Chlorides Leakage
No chlorinated solvents are used in the manufacturing of Aldex C-15 H (LS) resulting in no leakage of organic chlorides.
Very Low TOC
Non solvent sulfonation and special manufacturing processes assure very low TOC leakage.
Uniform Particle Size
98% of all beads are in the minus 16 to plus 40 mesh range giving a lower pressure drop while maintaining the superior kinetics of standard mesh size products.
Superior Physical Stability
90% plus sphericity and high crush strengths together with a very uniform particle size provide greater resistance to bead breakage while maintaining low pressure drop.
