Do ion exchange resins require special care if resin sterilisation is undertaken?

08 January 2020

Strong oxidising agents are detrimental to all ion exchange resins and so sterilisation of beds must only be undertaken with great care. Otherwise, irreversible damage can be caused. The chemicals used widely to sterilise pipework and tanks are often used at a concentration and contact time which would seriously damage the resin.
