Catalon is a polymeric fibrous ion-exchange filtering material (modified polyacrylonitrile), which is able to bind both cations and anions and form consolidated compounds as a result of heavy metals ions adsorption.
Treated water temperature up to 80°С | High sorption rate | Effective Reduction of contaminants (up to 99%) |
- Catalon provides effective water purification from all types of iron (dissolved, undissolved, colloidal and organic);
- It removes heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, chrome) from hard water, maintaining natural mineralization level;
- Safe to use in potable water treatment systems;
- Easily combined with another filtering media (activated carbon) for complex water purification;
- Can be used in air and wastewater treatment.
Contaminant | Inlet concentration (mg/l) | Amount of sorbed substance* | Reduction (not less than, %) |
Iron | 2 | 50 | 85 |
Copper | 1 | 55 | 90 |
Lead | 0,2 | 95 | 97 |
Cadmium | 0,1 | 55 | 93 |
Arsenic | 0,15 | 3 | 96 |
* Maximal sorption of contaminants (mg) by Catalon material (measured in grams).
Accurate sorption data depends on feed water composition.
According to research of Chemistry Institute of Henan province (China) Catalon is able to remove (at pH 5,6) the following contaminants:
![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
Catalon has not only a chelating properties (selective removal of heavy metal cations), and ampholytic.
It means that:
- Catalon removes not only cations such as copper, cadmium, lead, and anions: organic impurities, chlor-organic compounds, iron bacteria and colloidal iron.
- Catalon contains silver in metallic form, preventing the growth of bacteria.
- Catalon maintains natural mineral composition of the source water.
Catalon effectively purifies water from iron, lead, heavy metals, reduces water hardness.
It removes organic and chlor-organic compounds.
The fibrous structure of Catalon creates a uniform depth filtration, which guarantees the absence of wall and tunnel effects.


Water from the source of centralized water (tap water), purified Geyser pitcher filters with Catalon material meets the requirements for products in contact with drinking water.
Fibrous structure of Catalon material has a high sorption rate and allows to effectively use whole cartridge capacity, guaranteeing lack of tunnel effect. Working together with ion-exchange resin and granular activated carbon, Catalon material provides effective iron, heavy metals, chlorine and organics removal and improves water taste and colour.
Capacity up to 350 L.


Cation-exchange Catalon thread is intended for removal of heavy metals (lead, copper, cadmium, mercury), iron compounds, organic cation exchangers (dyes, surfactants).
