General description

Amberlyst-15 is a Brønsted acidic resin catalyst.[1]
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency. Click here for more information.

Application

Amberlyst-15 has been used as a catalyst for the etherification of furanyl alcohols by using both ethanol and butanol solutions.[1] Amberlyst-15 hydrogen form has been used as an acid resin catalyst for the conversion of furfuryl alcohol into ethyl levulinate in lipid ethanol[2] and for biodiesel production from triolein in a batch reaction system by transesterification method at high temperatures.[3]
Strongly acidic cation exchange resin used as a heterogeneous acid catalysis; suitable for non-aqueous catalysis.

Chem/Phys Resistance

Swelling (dry to solvent saturated, %):
hexane 10-15; toluene 10-15; ethylene dichloride 15-20; ethylene acetate 30-40; 95% ethylene alcohol 60-70; water 60-70.
