What is polyacrylamide (PAM)?

Interested in this product? Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a water-soluble polymer made up of acrylamide subunits. It has a unique effect to increase the viscosity of water or promote the flocculation of particles present in water, it can also reduce the frictional resistance between the liquid.

Why is polyacrylamide used in paper making industry?

Polyacrylamide can be used for paper making industry to improve the dry and wet strength, increase stability of pulp, enhance the staying rate of filling material and speed size filterability in the paper. It is also used to treat wastewater in the paper industry.

What is polyacrylamide polymer?

Polyacrylamide, also briefly referred as PAM, is commonly a polymer with acrylamide monomers bonded connected by end to end configuration; it is a hard glassy solid at room temperature. Because of the difference in production methods, the products can be white powder, translucent beads and flaky like.

Is polyacrylamide a strong oxidizing agent?

Stable. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, aluminium, copper, iron, iron salts Polyacrylamide, also briefly referred as PAM, is commonly a polymer with acrylamide monomers bonded connected by end to end configuration; it is a hard glassy solid at room temperature.

What is polyacrylamide used for?

Polyacrylamide is widely used to flocculate or coagulate solids / suspended particles in various types of wastewater, such as municipal sewage, dyeing, leather, industrial wastewaters. Polyacrylamide is used in irrigation water in agriculture to improve soil texture, sugar refining, where it can be used in beet or cane juice clarification.

What is anionic polyacrylamide used for?

Anionic polyacrylamide can be used as a cytoplasm additive in the paper industry with better retention and drainage effect. It has a particularly dispersing effect for long-fiber pulp when its molecular weight is greater than 3.5 million. In addition, it can also be used as a water treatment agent.
