Application

Amberlyst^® 15, is a strongly acidic, heat-sensitive, macro reticular polystyrene based ion exchange resin with sulfonic group functionality. Its high acid capacity and porous structure make it an effective solid acid catalyst for non-aqueous reactions and enable its use in multiple reaction cycles. Amberlyst^® 15 has been used as a catalyst for the etherification of furanyl alcohols by using both ethanol and butanol solutions. In addition, it also has been used as an acid resin catalyst for the conversion of furfuryl alcohol into ethyl levulinate in lipid ethanol and for biodiesel production from triolein in a batch reaction system by transesterification method at high temperatures.

Features and Benefits

Swelling (dry to solvent saturated, %):
hexane 10-15; toluene 10-15; ethylene dichloride 15-20; ethylene acetate 30-40; 95% ethylene alcohol 60-70; water 60-70.
