GC-100 Cation Resin
G-Ion
GC-100 Cation Exchange Resin is a premium-grade, high-capacity,
strong acid cation exchange resin specifically engineered for water softening,
demineralization, and purification processes. Designed with advanced
cross-linked polystyrene and sulfonic acid functional groups, this resin
provides exceptional performance, chemical stability, and long operational
life. It is ideal for use in industrial, commercial, and domestic watertreatment systems, ensuring consistent ion exchange efficiency and high
flow rates.
This
resin is a sodium-form, gel-type, strong acid cation (SAC) resin that
effectively removes hardness ions such as calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium
(Mg²⁺) by exchanging them with sodium ions (Na⁺). It can also be
regenerated with standard sodium chloride (NaCl) brine or other regenerants,
making it easy to maintain and cost-effective for long-term operation.
Overview
The
G-Ion GC-100 Cation Resin plays a crucial role in water treatment by
exchanging undesirable cations with sodium or hydrogen ions to produce soft or
demineralized water. It is widely used in boiler feedwater treatment, industrial
process water, cooling towers, RO pre-treatment, and domestic
softening systems.
The
resin’s uniform bead size and high mechanical strength ensure excellent
hydraulic characteristics and reduced pressure drop across the resin bed. Its
high exchange capacity allows for efficient operation even at high flow rates
and varying feed water qualities.
Formulated with advanced manufacturing technology, G-Ion GC-100 delivers reliable and consistent performance over many regeneration cycles. The resin beads exhibit excellent resistanceto mechanical and osmotic shock, minimizing resin breakage and leakage.

under high load conditions.
Working Principle
The
G-Ion GC-100 Cation Resin works through the process of ion exchange.
When hard water passes through the resin bed, calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium
(Mg²⁺) ions — which cause scaling and hardness — are exchanged for sodium (Na⁺)ions held by the resin.
The
general reaction during softening is:
2R–Na + Ca²⁺ → R₂–Ca + 2Na⁺
2R–Na + Mg²⁺ → R₂–Mg + 2Na⁺
Over
time, the resin becomes saturated with hardness ions and must be regenerated
using a sodium chloride (NaCl) brine solution. During regeneration, the
hardness ions are replaced with sodium ions, restoring the resin’s softening
capacity.
For
demineralization systems, the resin can be converted into the hydrogen form
(H⁺), allowing it to remove all cations, including sodium, calcium, and
magnesium, by exchanging them for hydrogen ions.
