Polyacrylamide
$1900.00
Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a water-soluble polymer made from acrylamide monomers. It is commonly used in both industrial and environmental applications for its ability to absorb water and form gels. It appears as a white, powdery substance or a viscous liquid, depending on its form.
Industrial Applications:
Water Treatment:
Polyacrylamide is widely used in water and wastewater treatment as a flocculant, helping to remove suspended solids and clarify water.
Oil & Gas Industry:
It is used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes to increase water viscosity and improve the extraction of oil from reservoirs.
Mining:
In mining operations, polyacrylamide acts as a flocculant to separate solids from liquids during mineral processing.
Agriculture:
Used in soil conditioning to improve water retention and reduce soil erosion in agricultural fields.
Paper & Pulp Industry:
Employed in the production of paper and cardboard to enhance retention of fine particles, improve the paper’s strength, and aid in dewatering.
Storage Recommendations:
Temperature: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Packaging: Keep in tightly sealed, moisture-resistant containers to avoid clumping and degradation.
Shelf Life: Stable for up to 2 years when stored properly in original packaging.
Safety Note:
Polyacrylamide is generally safe to handle, but it can cause skin and eye irritation in some cases. Proper protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, should be worn during handling. Inhalation of dust should be avoided.
