Product introduction

Polyacrylamide (PAM)

Polyacrylamide is a linear water-soluble polymer, and is one of the most widely used varieties of water-soluble polymer compounds. It has unique effect to increase the viscosity of water or to promote the flocculation of particles present in water, it can also reduce the frictional resistance between the liquid. PAM has three types: Anionic PAM, Cationic PAM and Nonionic PAM. PAM and its derivatives can be used as efficient flocculants, thickeners, paper enhancers and liquid drag reducing agents, and  Polyacrylamide are widely used in water treatment, paper making, petroleum, coal, mining, metallurgy, geology, textile, construction and other industrial sectors.

What is anionic polyacrylamide used for?

Water Treatment:Anionic polyacrylamide is widely used in water treatment plants for clarification and sedimentation of suspended solids.
Mining Industry:In the mining sector, APAM is used to settle and clarify tailings water from the mining process.
Oil and Gas Industry:APAM is utilized in the oil and gas industry for enhanced oil recovery (EOR).

Papermaking:Anionic polyacrylamide is used in the papermaking industry as a retention aid and drainage aid.

Soil Erosion Control:In agriculture and land reclamation projects, APAM can be used to control soil erosion.

Textile Industry:APAM is employed in the textile industry as a sizing agent and helps in controlling the textile sizing process.

Municipal Sewage Treatment:It is used in sewage treatment plants to improve the efficiency of solid-liquid separation, especially in the dewatering of sludge.

Flocculant in Industrial Processes:Anionic polyacrylamide is used as a flocculant in various industrial processes where solid-liquid separation is critical, such as in the chemical industry.
