LEWATIT® S 8227 Scopeblue

Lewatit® S 8227 Scopeblue is the sustainable equivalent of the conventional Lewatit® S 8827, which is produced with ISCC PLUS certified acrylonitrile according to the mass balance approach under the following license code: ISCC-PLUS-Cert-DE102-22010005

Scopeblue is the umbrella brand of Lanxess for its sustainable products, which are achieving the following targets:

• More than 50% by mass of sustainable raw materials or
• More than 50% lower PCF compared to the conventional product
  

The Lewatit® S 8227 Scopeblue fulfills both Scopeblue requirements. Over 90 % of the fossil raw materials are substituted by material from sustainable, ISCC PLUS certified sources (mass balanced). As a result of the mass balance approach, Lewatit® S 8227 Scopeblue exhibits the same physical and chemical properties, obtaining the same performance as its conventional counterpart.

Lewatit® S 8227 Scopeblue is a food grade, macroporous, weakly acidic cation exchange resin based on a crosslinked polyacrylate. It is bead-shaped and has a special bead size distribution for use in household filter systems.

In its hydrogen form, Lewatit® S 8227 Scopeblue is suitable for the decarbonisation and softening of drinking water, e.g. brewery water treatment, and the use in household filter systems.

When using Lewatit® S 8227 Scopeblue to treat potable water and the aqueous solutions listed above, special care should be given to the initial cycles of the new resin. Please refer to the recommended start-up conditions available on request.
