PK-enhanced Cation Exchange Membrane

Catalog Number	ACMA00062971
Description	This product is a PK-enhanced cation exchange membrane (CEM) with high hydroxyl blocking ability, high selectivity, high mechanical stability, and high stability in acidic and alkaline environments.
Density	10 - 13 mg·cm-2
Application	Process for concentrating alkaline solutions, electrodialysis and electrodialysis with bipolar membranes.
Storage	Dry form: Membranes can be stored dry for an unlimited period of time. However, the membrane must be conditioned (washed and rinsed) before use. Wet form: Available for short- and medium-term storage (hours to weeks) in unsealed containers in 0.5 - 1.5 wt% NaCl solution or similar neutral pH electrolyte.
Backing Foil	None
Bubble Point	> 3 bar (Test in Water)
Color Form	Brown
Delivery Form	Dry
Dimensional Swelling	0 - 2 %
Electrical Conductivity	1 - 4 (in Na+ form) mS·cm-1
Elongation At Break	20 - 50 %
Hydroxyl Transfer Rate	5 - 50 µmol·min-1·cm-2
Ionic Form	Protonic form (H+)
Non-Std Modulus	1000 - 2000 MPa
Notice For Use	Membranes are delivered in H and dry versions. Depending on the application and cell design, assembly can be done in dry (without pretreatment) or wet form. For optimal performance, it is recommended to rinse the membrane in a NaCl solution (e.g., 0.5 M NaCl solution at 25°C for 24 hours) to remove any additives on the membrane. Place the membrane sample between stabilizing mesh/spacers to avoid curling. Do not let the film dry as micro-cracks may appear during shrinkage.
