Cation resin is made with a polymer (a fancy plastic called Polystyrene) and Divinylbenzene (DVN). The polymer is what gives the resin bead its structural integrity which is called crosslinking.
Softener resins are available in 6%, 8%, 10% and 15% crosslinking. The higher the crosslinking the stronger the resin.
Manufacturers typically don’t list the percentage on the bags, so don’t run out to the warehouse and check. Some include it in the part number. For example, Aldex C-800 and ResinTech CG-8 are 8% crosslink. ResinTech CG-10 is 10% and so is Purolite C100X10. Thermax part numbers don’t indicate - T42 = 8%; T52 = 10%.
8% is the industry standard. 6% crosslinked softener resin is less costly and suitable for use in residential well or non-chlorinated water. So be careful. Lower cross linked resins have higher moisture content. In the presence of chlorine, resins with higher moisture are more prone to fracture because of the swell/contraction of the regeneration cycle. The increased moisture allows chlorine to migrate deeper into the bead and over time the resin breaks down and turns to mush. Higher crosslinked resins are more durable and last longer.
Benefits of higher crosslinked softener resins:
1. Higher capacity
2. Withstands high frequency regenerations
3. More chlorine tolerant
4. Can operate at higher temperatures in the presence of oxidants (chlorine, chloramine)
Chlorine is the enemy of ALL ion exchange resins and should be eliminated. But if you can’t, consider a 10% crosslinked resin. I mentioned a 15% resin. 15% resins are Macroporous. They are mostly used in specialized industrial applications and can cost 2-3x as much as 8% resin. If you need the Army Tank of Cation resin, consider a 15%.
