Polyacrylamide PAM-HOOCHEMTEC

Product details

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a synthetic polymer , it is a water-soluble polymer formed from acrylamide subunits. The polymerization process can yield both linear and cross-linked forms, each tailored for specific uses. 1PAM can make suspended substances through the electric neutralization, bridge adsorption, flocculation. 2 Can play a bonding role through mechanical, physical and chemical effects. 3PAM can effectively reduce the friction resistance of the fluid, and the addition of a trace amount of PAM in water can reduce the resistance by 50-80%. 4: PAM has a thickening effect under neutral and acid conditions, when the PH value is above 10 PAM is easy to hydrolysis. The thickening will be more pronounced when the structure is semi-reticulated. Application One of the primary characteristics of polyacrylamide is its ability to form highly viscous solutions when dissolved in water. This property makes it valuable in industries such as wastewater treatment, where it is used as a flocculant to facilitate the removal of suspended solids and organic matter from effluents. The polymer's high molecular weight contributes to its effectiveness in binding particles together, aiding in the formation of larger aggregates that can be easily separated from water. In agriculture, polyacrylamide is employed as a soil conditioner and erosion control agent. By enhancing soil structure and stability, it reduces soil erosion and improves water infiltration, thereby promoting better crop yields and sustainable land management practices. Additionally, PAM serves crucial roles in the petroleum industry, where it is utilized in enhanced oil recovery processes. As a thickening agent, it alters the viscosity of water injected into oil reservoirs, improving the efficiency of extraction operations by displacing more oil from the rock formations. Beyond these industrial applications, polyacrylamide also plays a role in the cosmetics industry, where it is used in formulations for its thickening and stabilizing properties in lotions, creams, and hair care products.
