What are anionic polyacrylamides?

Anionic polyacrylamides (PAMs) are a class of synthetic water-soluble polymers (composed of long chains of acrylamide monomer) used as flocculants. They are available in dry powder form, liquid emulsion, and gelatinous blocks.

Is anionic polyacrylamide toxic?

Anionic polyacrylamide has no systemic toxicity to aquatic organisms or micro-organisms. The polymer is much too large to be absorbed into tissues and cells. The functional anionic groups do not interfere with the functioning of fish gills or daphnia respirators.

How fast does polyacrylamide powder absorb water?

Polyacrylamide powder (PAM) is a glassy solid. It is adopted for water absorption. The speed of absorbing water varies with different derivative ions. Polyacrylamide powder could be made into four series: no-ion, cation, anion, and mixed cation-anion. 2h Max. 2h Max. 2h Max. NOTE: Specs can be adjusted as per customer requirements.
