Polymeric based Size Exclusion Columns supplied by Tosoh Bioscience start with a base support material. One of these supports is methacrylate derivative with a pore size of 1000 Angstroms. This is the same resin used in the TSKgel G5000PWxl columns. So when this resin is functionalized with a ligand such as sulfo propyl the product is called SP (for sulfo propyl) -5PW (for the G5000PWxl support matrix).
