Description

n-Ethenylformamide Homopolymer Hydrolyzed, Hydrochlorides is a synthetic cationic polymer derived from the hydrolysis of poly(vinylformamide). This compound is valued for its strong positive charge and water-soluble polymeric structure, making it an effective flocculant and conditioning agent. It is primarily utilized in water treatment, paper manufacturing, and as a functional additive in personal care and cosmetic formulations where cationic charge density is critical.

Application

• Water & Wastewater Treatment: Acts as a highly effective cationic flocculant for the clarification and dewatering of industrial and municipal sludge.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Used as a retention and drainage aid, as well as a strength additive in papermaking processes.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a conditioning agent and film-former in hair care products (shampoos, conditioners) and skincare formulations.
• Textile Industry: Serves as a dye-fixing agent and finishing chemical to improve fabric handle and color fastness.
• Oil & Gas Production: Employed in drilling muds and as a fluid loss control additive due to its viscosity-modifying properties.
• Biomedical Research: Utilized as a cationic substrate for cell adhesion studies and in the development of drug delivery systems.
