Handling Frozen Ion Exchange Resin

Tips for Resin Storage & Handling

December 21st marks the Winter Solstice – daylight slowly increases and temperatures may go below freezing.

Ion exchange resin beads freeze easily! During transport resin may be left in unheated trailers overnight or for a couple days before arrival at its destination.

• Store ion exchange resin at temperatures between 35-80° F (2-27° C).
• Resin should be thawed out slowly at room temperature.  Don’t heat or steam the resin.
• Performance may be affected if resin is frozen and thawed multiple times.
• Make no attempt to mechanically free frozen resin as it will damage the beads.
• Temperature controlled trucks are available at extra cost but usually unnecessary.
