PRECISION POLYMER SOLUTIONS FOR HEALTHIER WATER

Reinventing Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) for today's challenges, setting a new standard for clean water.

The Science

MOLECULARLY IMPRINTED POLYMERS (MIPs)

MIPs are engineered with highly specific binding sites that selectively target individual contaminants. Long trusted in pharmaceutical applications where safety and reliability are critical, this proven technology is now applied to water treatment, bringing the same level of precision to protecting water quality.

MIPs function as selective capture systems engineered to recognize and bind only target molecules.

UNLIKE TRADITIONAL METHODS, MIPs:

  • Precisely target and capture PFAS, even at very low levels

  • Maintain secure binding under changing flow and operating conditions

  • Are easily configured into cartridges, columns, or large-scale systems

  • Capture both long-chain (PFOA, PFOS) and short-chain (GenX, PFBS) variants

Why It Matters

EXCEPTIONAL SELECTIVITY FOR CONSISTENT REMOVAL

Many contaminants, including PFAS, are present at trace levels requiring exceptional selectivity.

SECURE CONTAINMENT CAPTURE

Selective, durable binding. Engineered binding sites precisely capture and retain PFAS, even at media saturation.

RELIABLE CONTENT HOLDER

A robust polymer structure maintains binding integrity across varying flow rates and operating conditions.

FLEXIBLE SURFACE INTEGRITY

Available in beads, columns, and customizable formats for seamless use across treatment systems.

Performance Advantage

polyCPTR VS. TRADITIONAL METHODS

Side-by-side performance scoring across the metrics that matter most.
