The papermaking industry relies on a sophisticated array of chemical additives to achieve desired paper qualities, optimize production efficiency, and ensure cost-effectiveness. Among these essential chemicals, Polyacrylamide (PAM) stands out for its remarkable versatility and impact on various stages of the papermaking process. As a reputable chemical manufacturer and supplier in China, we provide high-performance PAM solutions tailored to the unique demands of modern paper mills.

PAM's primary roles in papermaking revolve around improving retention, drainage, and paper strength. In the wet end of the paper machine, fine particles, fillers, and sizing agents tend to be lost with the process water. Polyacrylamide, particularly anionic and cationic variants depending on the furnish composition, acts as a retention aid. It flocculates these fine materials, binding them to the larger fibers and keeping them within the paper sheet. This not only conserves valuable raw materials but also improves the optical properties and printability of the final paper product. When paper mills buy PAM, they are investing in improved raw material utilization.

Equally important is PAM's contribution to drainage. As the newly formed paper web moves along the paper machine, water must be efficiently removed. PAM, through its flocculating action, creates larger, more permeable fiber flocs, which facilitates faster water drainage through the wire screen. This increased drainage speed allows for higher machine speeds, leading to increased production output and reduced energy consumption in the drying section. Efficient drainage is a key factor driving many mills to purchase PAM.

Furthermore, PAM can significantly enhance the dry and wet strength of paper. By promoting better inter-fiber bonding and acting as a dry strength additive, it improves the tensile strength, burst strength, and stiffness of the paper. For applications requiring resistance to moisture, wet strength grades of PAM are invaluable.

Choosing the right type and grade of PAM is crucial for maximizing these benefits. As a leading supplier, we offer a range of PAM products with varying molecular weights and charge densities, allowing paper manufacturers to fine-tune their additive programs for optimal results. The consistent quality and reliable supply from our China-based facilities ensure that paper mills can maintain their production schedules without interruption. We are committed to partnering with paper mills to enhance their product quality and operational efficiency through our advanced chemical solutions.
