Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate Ion-Exchange Resin for Medical & Industrial Use

Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate – Ion-Exchange Resin for Medical & Industrial Use

Overview:
Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate (SPS) is a synthetic cation-exchange resin used primarily to treat hyperkalemia (elevated potassium levels) in clinical settings. Additionally, it is used in industrial applications for water treatment, ion-exchange systems, and as an additive in chemical formulations. Its high selectivity for potassium ions and stable polymer structure make it valuable in both medical and technical industries.
