Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a highly versatile synthetic polymer with a wide array of industrial applications, stemming from its unique ability to modify the properties of aqueous solutions. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we are at the forefront of producing and supplying high-quality PAM for various sectors, including but not limited to oil and gas, water treatment, mining, and paper manufacturing.

PAM is a polymer of acrylamide, and its properties can be significantly altered by the degree of hydrolysis, which introduces carboxylate groups into the polymer chain. This leads to the classification of PAM into three main types: Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM), Cationic Polyacrylamide (CPAM), and Nonionic Polyacrylamide (NPAM). Each type possesses distinct characteristics that make it suitable for different applications:

  • Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM): Features negatively charged groups, making it an excellent flocculant for positively charged particles. It is widely used in water treatment, mining, and paper manufacturing for solid-liquid separation and retention.
  • Cationic Polyacrylamide (CPAM): Contains positively charged groups, making it effective for flocculating negatively charged particles. It is commonly used in wastewater treatment, sludge dewatering, and the paper industry as a retention and drainage aid.
  • Nonionic Polyacrylamide (NPAM): Lacks significant ionic charge. While it can function as a flocculant, its primary utility often lies in viscosity modification and friction reduction. This is where our nonionic polyacrylamide for enhanced oil recovery shines, as well as its use in applications requiring fluid thickening.

The primary applications of PAM leverage its ability to act as a flocculant, a thickener, a friction reducer, and a binder. In enhanced oil recovery, particularly through polymer flooding, its viscosity-increasing properties are crucial for improving sweep efficiency. As a water treatment polyacrylamide, its flocculating power aids in clarifying water by removing suspended impurities.

In the mining industry, PAM is employed for tailings treatment and mineral processing, facilitating the separation of valuable minerals from waste materials. The paper industry utilizes PAM as a retention and drainage aid, improving the efficiency of the papermaking process and the quality of the final product. Its role as a chemical auxiliary in these diverse fields highlights its importance.
