Specialty chemicals company LANXESS has unveiled Lewatit MDS TP 108, an innovative ion exchange resin designed to effectively remove short-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water. These compounds, with three or fewer carbon atoms, are notoriously difficult to eliminate during conventional water treatment processes due to their small size and chemical stability.
Twice the Service Life, Lower Costs
Lewatit MDS TP 108 not only enhances PFAS removal efficiency but also delivers significant operational benefits. The resin lasts approximately twice as long as traditional ion exchange materials or alternative solutions such as activated carbon adsorption. As a result, users can substantially reduce both material usage and disposal costs.
Supporting Water Sustainability
“With Lewatit MDS TP 108, we are setting new standards in water treatment and ideally complement our product portfolio for the removal of PFAS,” said Dr. Dirk Steinhilber, Application Technology Manager at LANXESS’ Liquid Purification Technologies business unit. “At the same time, we help to protect water as a valuable resource,” Steinhilber added.
As per the press release, LANXESS continues to advance its commitment to sustainable water purification technologies with solutions that are both high-performing and environmentally responsible.
