Product Data Sheet
DOWEX MARATHON C Resin
Uniform Particle Size, High Capacity Cation Exchange Resin

For Softening (Industrial and Residential) and Demineralization Applications
Description
DOWEX MARATHON C Strong Acid Cation Exchange Resin is a uniform particle

size resin designed for use in industrial and residential softening and demineralization
applications. The small uniform beads exhibit faster kinetics than conventionally sized
resins. The improved kinetics typically results in improved regeneration efficiency,
higher operating capacity, reduced regenerant usage and less waste water.
DOWEX MARATHON C Resin also shows exceptional stability to compressive and
osmotic stress.
