The Institute of Physical Organic Chemistry offers consumers FIBAN A-1 fibrous strong-base anion exchange resin under a manufacturing agreement and/or licensing agreement and is looking for partners to conclude a distribution services agreement.

Strongly basic fibrous anion exchange resins are used to purify water and other liquids from acids, organic compounds, and heavy metal anions. They are used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries, as well as in water treatment systems.

Major global manufacturers of strongly basic fibrous anion exchange resins:

1. Purolite Corporation (USA)
- Features: One of the largest manufacturers of ion exchange resins, including strongly basic anion exchange resins for various industries.
2. Lanxess (Germany)
- Features: The company offers a wide range of ion exchange resins, including fibrous strongly basic anion exchange resins.
3. Thermax Limited (India)
- Features: Manufacturer of ion exchange resins and anion exchange resins for water treatment and industrial processes.
4. Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (Japan)
- Features: Manufacturer of ion exchange resins, including strongly basic anion exchange resins for water treatment and other processes.
5. Samyang Corporation (South Korea)
- Features: The company produces ion exchange resins, including strongly basic anion exchange resins for various applications.

FIBAN A-1, developed at the Institute of Physical Organic Chemistry, is produced by graft polymerization of styrene onto commercial polypropylene fiber, followed by chemical treatment. The resulting staple fiber is processed into non-woven needle-punched material, if necessary.

Characteristics:

Static exchange capacity for strongly basic groups, mg-eq/g	up to 3.5
Swelling rate in water, g/g ion exchange resin	0.8 ± 0.1
Operating pH range	0 ÷ 14
Operating temperature range, °C	0 ÷ 100 (chloride form) 0 ÷ 50 (OH form)

Stable in acid and alkaline solutions, as well as in oxidizing environments.
Characterized by high dynamic exchange capacity. It is effective in multi-cycle operation and features successful desorption of absorbed anions.

Applications include:
– water purification from nitrates, heavy metal anions (chromium, vanadium, molybdenum, tin, tungsten), and surfactants;
– air purification from low-humidity airflows to remove harmful acidic impurities;
– final deionization of water (in the OH form);
– quantitative determination of radionuclide content in water;
– extraction of precious metals from solutions.

A monofunctional, strongly basic fibrous anion exchange resin. Its ion exchange and mechanical properties surpass those of foreign analogues and are world-class. Its significantly simpler technology allows for pilot production.

The Institute of Physical Organic Chemistry is a global leader in the development, production, and use of ion-exchange fibrous materials and artificial substrates for plant cultivation. The Institute's work in membranes and membrane technologies is widely recognized. It has developed and manufactured membrane materials for ultra- and microfiltration in the form of continuous webs and capillaries, cassette, roll, and hollow fiber elements for use in the energy, food, pharmaceutical, electronics, and other industries.

The Institute's scientists have discovered and studied the following reactions: heterocyclization of azomethines with carbonyl compounds, hydroamination of oxygen-containing compounds, initiated decarboxylation of mercury acylates, and the construction of an isothiazole ring from 2-nitropentachlorobutadiene and sulfur. Convenient methods for synthesizing benzoquinolines, amines, pyridines, and organomercury compounds have been developed, as well as electrochemical methods for producing p-complexes of transition metals, and methods for synthesizing a variety of functionally substituted organohalogen compounds, carboranes, and peroxides.

Catalysts developed at the Institute have been implemented at major chemical plants. An antiblock composition preventing cellophane film from sticking together during production has been implemented industry-wide. An industrial radiation-chemical technology for producing the blood plasma substitutes "Rondex" and "Neorondex" has been developed.

The Institute's activities are aimed at developing scientific principles and technologies for creating new polymeric materials with special properties (selectively permeable, sorption, ion-exchange, and catalytically active) for use in industry, ecology, agriculture, and water treatment. The development of synthesis methods and technologies for producing medicinal substances based on amino acids and their derivatives, biologically active substances and compositions for medicine and agriculture, and functionally substituted organic and organoelement compounds.

The Institute conducts international scientific and technical cooperation through direct agreements with scientific institutions in Russia, Ukraine, Germany, Poland, Sweden, China, and elsewhere. Much attention is paid to fulfilling contracts for research and development and the manufacture of high-tech commercial products based on its own developments with organizations and firms in Saudi Arabia, Germany, Korea, Russia, and the United States.
