Lightly crosslinked refers to the lightly woven polymer portion of the scavenger. This type of resin becomes swollen in a particular solvent, allowing an impurity to react with a specified functional group. In many times single solvents are not sufficient to expand the resin, in which case a second solvent must be added. Examples of a secondary solvent, or co-solvent, would be Tetrahydrofuran, or THF. Typically contain 1–3% of divinylbenzene.
