What are the different types of polyacrylamide (PAM)?

According to its ionic properties, PAM is divided into three main types: cationic (Cationic PAM, CPAM), anionic (Anionic PAM, APAM) and nonionic (Nonionic PAM, NPAM). These three types have significant differences in structure, function and application. 1. Cationic polyacrylamide (Cationic PAM, CPAM) Structure and properties:

What is anionic polyacrylamide (Apam)?

Anionic polyacrylamide (Anionic PAM, APAM) Structure and properties: Anionic PAM is a water-soluble polymer. By introducing these anionic groups on the polymer backbone, APAM can react with positively charged substances. It is mainly used for flocculation, sedimentation and clarification of various industrial wastewaters.

What is nonionic polyacrylamide?

3. Nonionic Polyacrylamide (Nonionic PAM, NPAM) Structure and Properties: Nonionic PAM is a high molecular polymer or polyelectrolyte with a certain amount of polar genes in its molecular chain.

What is the abbreviation for polyacrylamide?

The abbreviation of Polyacrylamide is PAM, it is a chemical which purchased in dry, emulsion, liquid and tablet form. 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.

What is cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM)?

Cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) is a type of polyacrylamide that has positively charged functional groups on its molecular chains. It is widely used in various industries for its unique properties. Some of the common usages of cationic polyacrylamide are:

Is cationic polyacrylamide soluble in water?

Cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) is highly soluble in water and can form clear solutions at low concentrations.Due to the positively charged functional groups, Cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) can attract and bond with negatively charged particles and suspended solids in water, leading to flocculation and sedimentation.
