Applications
Amberlyst|r A-26(OH) is widely utilized to catalyze reactions such as aldol condensation and carbonylation. It is used to remove the anionic transition metal complexes from aqueous and non-aqueous mediums, acids and mercaptans from hydrocarbons and other non-polar solvents. It plays an essential role for the removal of oleic acid from chlorinated hydrocarbons and acids from phenol-acetone solutions. It is actively involved in the determination of cadmium by flow injection atomic absorption spectrometry and as packaging material for column chromatography.

Solubility
Insoluble in water.

Notes
Exposure to air absorbs carbon dioxide. Incompatible with strong acids, bases and oxidants.
