Purolite SST 60

Purolite Shallo Shell™ SSTC60 ion exchange resin for softening and iron removal

To achieve improved softening performance, Purolite perfected an advance resin bead structure. It's called Shallow Shell™ Technology, or SST™. Shallow Shell™ SSTC60 is a high-efficiency softening resin designed to improve softening performance. Each bead has an active outer shell with an inactive core. The structure shortens the dissusion path-resulting in faster ion exchange. This is particularly important during regeneration as it provides more efficient utilization of the regenerant, higher throughput, and more complete regeneration with less leakage.


NSF certified

Well suited for industrial, hotel, pharmaceutical, domestic, and food & beverage water softening applications

Produce Pure Water

Salt saving

Reduction of 20 - 50%in commercial salt quantity required for regeneration

Reduce operating costs and discharge less chemicals into the environment

Water saving

Saves from 30-50% on risen water and reduction in salt dilution water

Use less water; 40-80% reduction in volume of waste water and disposal costs

Iron removal

Prevents resin fouling from heavy metals

Perform fewer change-outs; durable resin resists fouling, osmotic shock and oxidation for extended resin Life

High hardness

Effective for hardness levels in excess of 700 ppm and up to 2,000 ppm

Reduce maintenance costs and extended equipment life; an economical solution for testing hard water with high TDS



Key Advantages of Shallow Shell™ Technology Resins versus traditional resins

. Significantaly improves echnomics in water softening processes

. Lower leakages at same regenerant dosage compared to traditional resin

. Significant reduction in salt dosage to achieve same leakage

. High capacity and increases throughput for optimal system performance

. Compatible with co-flow, counter-flow and packed bed systems



Suggested Applications for Shalloe Shell™ SSTC60

. Waste water and Zero Liquid Discharge projects

. High TDS / high hardness water softening

. Softening of waters with high iron levels

. Removal of heavy metals and hardness prior to RO systems

. Water - and salt - saving greeen initiatives
