High Cation Exchange Capacity

The high CEC of CLINOMAX™ enables greater nutrient retention and contaminant removal compared to alternative materials.

Why Does High Purity Matter?

Clinoptilolite Content: ≥ 80%

Clinoptilolite is the product's active mineral. CLINOMAX™ has a content of ≥ 80%; the higher the content, the higher the exchange capacity per kg of product tends to be.

Optimized Microporous Crystalline Structure

Three-dimensional channels of 4-7 Ångströms (0.4-0.7 nm) with affinity for cations of environmental and nutritional interest (NH₄⁺, K⁺, Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cs⁺, Sr²⁺). The ≥ 80% content limits inert minerals, favoring the density of active sites per mass.

Exceptional Cation Exchange Capacity

CEC of 150-200 meq/100g, close to the theoretical value of clinoptilolite (~216 meq/100g; Mumpton, 1999). Higher CEC means greater capacity to retain nutrients (K⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺) and remove contaminants.

Rapid Adsorption Kinetics

Rapid kinetics, with most of the exchange occurring within the first few minutes (varies with dose, concentration, and particle size), favored by the surface area (BET 43-47 m²/g) and the absence of blocking minerals.

Surface Area and Adsorption

The microporous structure, combined with the surface area, provides numerous exchange sites for contaminant adsorption and ion exchange, contributing to efficiency per kg of product.

Quality Assurance and Traceability

Certificate of Analysis (CoA): each batch comes with its own CoA, with a current XRD report for mineralogical purity.

Regulatory Compliance: Intended for use in animal feed and agriculture in accordance with applicable local regulations in each country.

Heavy Metal Control: Analysis of Pb, Cd, As, Hg below regulatory limits for safe use in food and environmental applications.

Traceability: qualified and approved sources, with batch-to-batch consistency control (CoA).
