Customers shared their challenges with pharmaceutical applications. We look at how ion exchange resins, adsorbents and other high-performance polymers can help.

Ion exchange resins can help you to stop smoking. The nicotine is primarily responsible for causing addiction to tobacco products. And as smokers try to kick the habit, their bodies have symptoms of nicotine withdrawal, which could cause symptoms like cravings, or urges to smoke, depression, trouble sleeping, irritability, anxiety, and increased appetite. Nicotine withdrawal can discourage some smokers from continuing with a quit attempt.

Resin is the key to “time-release” formulations in medicine, so your body gets a nice even dose.
