| Application: | Amberlyst-15 has been used as a catalyst for the etherification of furanyl alcohols by using both ethanol and butanol solutions. Amberlyst-15 hydrogen form has been used as an acid resin catalyst for the conversion of furfuryl alcohol into ethyl levulinate in lipid ethanol and for biodiesel production from triolein in a batch reaction system by transesterification method at high temperatures. |
| Application: | 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. |
