PuroSorb™ PAD polymeric adsorbents are synthetic polymers that are all highly cross linked and also have a highly porous structure as part of the polymer matrix. These adsorbents in many cases may replace carbon, a common generic adsorbent, with the advantage of being regenerated in situ, unlike carbon which must be regenerated in an independent facility.

 

In most cases, these adsorbents exhibit non-polar or hydrophobic tendencies which means they readily adsorb organic compounds that are highly soluble. PuroSorb™ PAD adsorbents are made from clean monomers and have high surface areas that are free from any contaminants such as salts, metals and other minerals, making them especially suitable for food and pharmaceutical use.
