This unique, lightweight, efficient distillation column packing was developed in our R&D laboratories for the separation of H₂O from D₂O (heavy water) by distillation. The Ultra-High Purity Column Packing (MCD-8-UHP) is manufactured from perfluoroalkoxy (PFA), a material with low extractable impurities and high chemical resistance.
‍
Being chemically inert with large contact surface area, this packing proved excellent for upgrading and separating deuterated solvents by distillation.

Testing has determined the HETP (Height Equivalent to a Theoretical Plate) to be approximately 14.2 cm using a standard test solution in carefully controlled experimental conditions. Performance specifications indicate that 100 g of 5 mm OD individual Multi-Channel™ units consists of 880 pieces, occupies 200 cm³ in volume, and offers approximately 2720 cm² in total surface area.
