If it is re-usable basically and not just another consumable.
Most adsorbents that are meant for industrial applications are designed with desorption in mind. It significantly increases the life of the media.
If its a product thats got a name/designation for its absorptive properties you can safely assume that its also designed for desorption.
I’ve only ever seen one time use medias in the cannabis industry although I know its also somewhat common in the food processing industry as well.

Does this hold a true a year and a half later? I read this last night and chatted with my supply chain guys. If there’s still a shortage and/or unreasonable shipping costs, we may have a solution.

Probably not. Such polymerizations generally require high pressure & high temperature in gas phase over metal catalysts.

Like a red hot titanium nail?

He said high temp AND pressure, stop trying to stir shit up @cyclopath !

Technically, it is possible for a small amount to be catalyzed into something else, but it would be barely detectable due to the air and other impurities present. Also, bulk titanium metal is not really catalytic.

If you are running crc would that remove any of the impurity’s?

It certainly could but not all of them (in type or quantity). Keep in mind small nonpolar impurities basically won’t notice your CRC media at all

Sooo…seems like you might have had the right concern, for the wrong reasons.
Not certain yet, but propene/propylene’s increased water holding ability looks like a decent explanation for @Waxplug1’s repeatable color pickup when using a 70/30 “propane” mix from a specific vendor…

Didn’t realize your plan was to decant that shit….

Photon said isopropyl and propyl alcohols can be created when propylene is in contact with water and acidic conditions are present.
