LEWATIT® K 2629

Lewatit® K 2629 is a strongly acidic, macroporous, polymer-based resin in spherical bead form, with sulfonic acid groups. lt is ideally suited as a heterogeneous catalyst for organic reactions and for the processing of aqueous and organic liquids.

A large pore structure, high capacity and a high degree of crosslinking, enable this catalyst to be used in polar and non-polar media.

lt is very compact and thus of exceptional mechanical stability.

Lewatit® K 2629 is especially suitable for the following applications:

• production of the gasoline additives MTBE, ETBE and TAME

• phenol alkylations and transalkylations, hydration of olefins, esterification, etherification, condensation and alkylation of larger polar and non-polar molecules

• cation removal, base adsorption from aqueous and organic liquids
