Heterogeneous Membranes to Remain Most in-Demand Variety

The market is segmented base on the structure of ion exchange membrane into homogenous and heterogeneous membranes. Homogeneous membranes are manufactured by adding ionizable functional groups to a polymeric film. These membranes are expensive and have a smooth surface and thinner composition with lower resistance. Their surfaces are less liable to fouling and could be modified to alter the membrane permselectivity to protons, monovalent ions, and divalent ions.

However, heterogeneous membranes, produced from ion exchange resins mixed with a binding polymer solution, are most consumed type of ion exchange membranes due to lower cost and availability in a variety of grain to biding polymer ratios. The ratio of grain to binding polymer determines the electrical and mechanical properties of the membrane. The segment of heterogeneous membranes is expected to rise at a rapid rate during the forecast period.
