Ion exchange resins consist of small, microporous beads that are insoluble in water and organic solvents. The most widely used base materials are polystyrene and polyacrylate. The beads remove the ionic charges in the coolant so that they cannot damage the fuel cell. The nuclear-grade resin inside of the PROTECT+ion Omniflow is designed specifically for…
