AB
AB-8 is a weakly polar styrene-type macroporous adsorption copolymer (crosslinker: divinylbenzene; monomer: methyl acrylate; porogen: toluene). It is suitable for the extraction, separation and purification of weakly polar water-soluble substances such as stevioside and alkaloids.

Handling, Storage & Loading Notes
Transport & storage: The resin contains water; keep the temperature between 5 and 40 °C during storage and transport to prevent freezing or mold. If the resin has dried out by exposure to air, do not add water directly (it will float) — soak it in ethanol to restore its wet state, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Feed quality: The adsorbate solution should be clarified and filtered before entering the column to keep impurities out and avoid acute poisoning of the resin.
