Default O.C. "Reef-Chem" Bulk chemicals

O.C. will soon have our bulk specialty products available at our store and online. We hope to easily compete with U.S. vendors for bulk reef supplies.

We will be selling multiple size refillable containers of the following chemicals.


Calcium Chloride
Calcium Hydroxide
Sodium Bicarbonate
Magnesium Chloride

Ultra Pure (Ion Exchange) DI Resins to refill DI cartridges.
Strong base anion exchange resin
Strong acid cation exchange resin

How soon and what prices should we expect to see on those bulk chemicals? thanks.

Um could you elaborate further on these, my chemistry is pretty rusty (actually I think it was a C- )

Christy, no problem!

Calcium Chloride (CaCL2) Calcium additive as part of the two-part system.
Calcium Hydroxide Ca(OH)2 Otherwise know as Kalkwasser (ALK+Calcium)
Sodium Bicarbonate
NaHCO3 Also known as Baking Soda (ALK additive as part of the two-part system.
Magnesium Chloride Simply just Magnesium, dosed as required (Magnesium Sulphate can also be used in smaller amounts or mixed together)

Right, I actually use those ones so you'll be hearing from me in about 10lbs

I meant these ones though:

Ultra Pure (Ion Exchange) DI Resins to refill DI cartridges.
Strong base anion exchange resin
Strong acid cation exchange resin

Whats the difference between these two resins? Or am I missing something here?

I am working with the suppliers right now. I should have prices and availability within a few days.

Oh! Oh well, someone might want to know the additional info I posted.

The two resins are typically mixed together in what is called a mixed bed resin. The two resins work together to polish separate impurities (ions) out of the water.

We will also be selling Nuclear grade mixed bed resins that are even higher quality.

Oh ok that makes sense. Thanks for the info.

Nuclear grade. Is that like a wedgie versus an atomic wedgie?

Purolite Nuclear grade polishing mixed bed resins offer a selection of products to address the diversity of conditions encountered in nuclear plant operations and insure optimum performance. The Purolite® nuclear grade mixed bed resins are primarily equivalence blends for maximum exchangeable capacity. Strong acid cation rich mixed beds are available for high cation and amine circuits. Contact your Purolite specialist for additional details.

When selecting mixed bed products it is essential to consider the objective for the resin. Resins, both cations and anions with high capacity will have greater selectivity for ions however kinetics will slow. Therefore higher capacity resins will result in lower ionic leakage but may not offer total loading capacity. Removing trace impurities from high purity water, such as conditions found in boiling water reactors (BWR) higher capacity resins will allow lower leakage. Whereas, in the primary circuit or a pressurized water reactor (PWR) medium crossed link resin will control ionic leakage yet achieve a greater total loading, thus reducing resin use and waste generation.


Mix beds with macroporous strong acid cation resin and gel anion resin offer a unique benefit of high selectivity and good kinetics achieving an efficient treatment for almost all nuclear systems.

I think the DI resins in RO/DI units have a mixture of both anion and cation resins.
