Lewatit® K 2621 is a strongly acidic, macroporous, polymer-based resin in spherical bead form, with sulfonic acid groups. It is ideal suited as a heterogeneous catalyst for organic reactions. A large pore structure, high degree of crosslinking and good mechanical stability enable this catalyst to be used in polar and non-polar media. Therefore, it is especially suitable for use in the following applications:- Production of the gasoline additives MTBE, ETBE and TAME
- Phenol alkylations with olefins
- hydration of olefins
- esterification, etherification, condensation and alkylation of larger polar and non-polar molecules
