What is anionic polyacrylamide?

Anionic Polyacrylamide, is solid powder water-soluble polymer with varying molecular weight and charge density. It is most often used to increase the viscosity of water (creating a thicker solution) or to encourage flocculation of particles present in water and allow rapid settlement of finely suspended solids.

What are the different types of polyacrylamide (PAM)?

YASA ET is supplier of three different kinds of PAM: non-ion polyacrylamide (NPAM), cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM), and anionic polyacrylamide (APAM). Click here to learn more. PAM chemical compounds are used to flocculate and coagulate suspended solids in water, wastewater, and soil.

What is cationic polyacrylamide?

Cationic polyacrylamide, is a white powder water -soluble polymer which is copolymerized by cationic monomer and acrylamide. It has the function of decolorizing, adsorbing, turbid eliminating and bonding. It generate a good flocculation and can decrease the resistance between liquids.

What is nonionic polyacrylamide?

Nonionic polyacrylamide is a high polymer with a high molecular weight and a low ion exponent, whichhas the function of flocculation, dispersal, thickening, bonding, film-forming, relating, and colloidal stability.

What is yasa et polyacrylamide used for?

The anionic form of cross-linked polyacrylamide is frequently used as a soil conditioner on farm land and construction sites for erosion control, in order to protect the water quality of nearby rivers and streams. YASA ET Polyacrylamide (PAM)

How can polyacrylamide be used in waterflooding?

Another common use of polyacrylamide and its derivatives is in subsurface applications such as Enhanced Oil Recovery. High viscosity aqueous solutions can be generated with low concentrations of polyacrylamide polymers, and these can be injected to improve the economics of conventional waterflooding.
