Amongst the vast variety of options available for treating water, resins have become a versatile and highly effective solution.
At Fileder, we specialise in various types of resins, each tailored to meet specific water treatment needs, including deionising resin, heavy metal removal resin, softening resin, and nuclear grade mixed-bed deionising resin.
Do you know which one is best suited for your application? If the answer is no, we’re here to help.
Deionising Resin
Deionising resins are designed to remove all dissolved contaminants from water, resulting in high-purity water. This is particularly important in industries where even the smallest impurities can lead to significant problems, such as pharmaceuticals, electronics and laboratories.
These types of resins are highly effective in exchanging undesirable ions in water, in which almost all dissolved ions (or Total Dissolved Solids) are reduced, creating a source of pure water. Water of this quality can be used as the final product or as an ingredient in various applications.
Using deionising resin can be a cost-effective alternative to other purification methods such as distillation or reverse osmosis when smaller amounts of purified water is required.

Heavy Metal Removal Resin
Heavy metals such as lead, zinc and chromium can cause significant health risks and environmental hazards and interference with sensitive manufacturing processes. This resin is typically used in non-regenerable cartridges, effectively removing heavy metals from water supplies.
Using these types of resins can help industries comply with environmental regulations and standards, as well as ensuring public safety and avoiding legal penalties.
For use in a wide range of applications, from municipal water treatment plants to industrial waste water treatment systems, these resins provide a versatile solution for heavy metal contaminant issues. In some applications, these types of resins can be used as an alternative to softening resin.

Softening Resin
Hard water can cause scale build-up in pipes, boilers and other equipment. Softening resins, which remove hardness ions (calcium and magnesium) in exchange for sodium ions, prevents scaling, extending the lifespan of equipment and reducing maintenance costs.
By preventing scale build-up, softening resins help maintain the efficiency of heating and cooling systems. This leads to lower energy consumption and operational costs, making them a cost-effective solution for both residential and industrial applications.
Softened water improves the performance of soaps and detergents, resulting in better cleaning and hygiene. This is particularly beneficial in industries such as hospitality, healthcare and food service, where water quality directly impacts standard of service and customer satisfaction.

Nuclear Grade Mixed-Bed Deionising Resin
Nuclear grade mixed-bed DI resins are essential for producing ultra-pure water, ensuring that the water treated is of the highest purity possible, typically 18mΩ. These resins combine both cation and anion exchange capabilities in a single bed, providing comprehensive removal of ionic contaminants.
This resin produces water almost in its purest possible form, and is best used for applications such as manufacture of pharmaceutical products, semiconductors and condensate polishing, and radiation wastewater treatment.
By using nuclear grade mixed-bed resins, industries can ensure reliable and consistent water quality, which is important in safety and efficiency of specific systems and applications.
At Fileder, we provide a range of resins including all that are mentioned above, offering tailored solutions for diverse water treatment challenges. By choosing resin-based water treatment, industries can achieve higher purity, enhanced efficiency, cost-savings and compliance with regulatory standards.
