Ion Exchange INDION® NIP | Type II Strong Base Anion Exchange Resin
Ion Exchange INDION® NIP | Type II Strong Base Anion Exchange Resin
Couldn't load pickup availability
INDION® NIP is a premium Type II strong base anion exchange resin supplied in the chloride (Cl⁻) form. It is manufactured using a styrene-EDMA copolymer matrix with benzyl dimethyl ethanol amine functional groups and features an isoporous bead structure for excellent ion exchange performance.
Compared to Type I anion resins, INDION® NIP offers higher regeneration efficiency and lower operating costs due to its weaker basicity. It is particularly effective for treating surface waters containing natural organic matter (NOM), providing excellent resistance to organic fouling and poisoning. The resin is widely used in demineralization (DM) plants as the anion exchanger following a cation exchange unit.

🔧 Installation & Operating Guidelines
- Install the resin in a clean anion exchange vessel with a suitable underdrain system.
- Backwash the resin before commissioning to properly classify the resin bed.
- Operate within the recommended temperature and pH limits.
- Regenerate using high-quality sodium hydroxide solution.
- Ensure the regenerant is free from excessive iron, heavy metals, and chlorates for optimum resin life.
- Maintain low iron levels in the feed water to prevent resin fouling.
- Follow the recommended operating and regeneration procedures provided by the equipment manufacturer.
- Monitor treated water quality regularly to determine regeneration frequency.
⚙️ How It Works
INDION® NIP removes negatively charged ions (anions) from water through the ion exchange process. As water flows through the resin bed, anions such as chlorides, sulphates, nitrates, bicarbonates, and silica are exchanged with hydroxide (OH⁻) ions generated during regeneration. The released hydroxide ions combine with hydrogen ions from the cation exchanger to form pure water.
Its Type II functional groups provide high regeneration efficiency while the isoporous structure offers superior resistance to fouling by natural organic matter commonly found in surface water sources.
🥽 Safety & Handling
- Store the resin in its original sealed packaging.
- Never allow the resin to dry during storage.
- Keep the resin moist using clean demineralized water if necessary.
- Store in a shaded area at a recommended temperature between 20°C and 40°C.
- Handle sodium hydroxide and other regeneration chemicals using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
- Prevent eye and skin contact with regeneration chemicals.
- Follow standard industrial safety procedures during handling and regeneration.

⚠️ Limitations and Precautions
- Maximum recommended operating temperature is 40°C.
- Free chlorine and strong oxidizing agents should be absent to prevent resin degradation.
- Resin should never be allowed to dry during storage or operation.
- Feed water should contain low levels of iron to minimize fouling of active exchange sites.
- Regenerant sodium hydroxide should be of technical or chemically pure grade and contain minimal iron, heavy metals, and chlorates.
- Approximately 10–15% volume expansion occurs during conversion from chloride to hydroxide form; vessel design should accommodate this change.
- Proper pretreatment and regeneration are essential for achieving maximum resin life and performance.
