Description

Acrylamide/Sodium Acrylate Copolymer is a high-performance, water-soluble synthetic polymer. This versatile material is engineered to provide superior thickening, flocculation, and water retention properties in aqueous systems. It is essential for industries requiring precise rheology control and efficient solid-liquid separation. Key sectors utilizing this copolymer include water treatment, mineral processing, paper manufacturing, and personal care formulations.

Application

• Water Treatment: Acts as a highly effective flocculant and coagulant aid for clarifying drinking water, treating industrial wastewater, and sludge dewatering.
• Mining & Mineral Processing: Used as a settling and dewatering agent for tailings, as well as a retention aid and thickener in mineral slurry processing.
• Paper Industry: Functions as a dry strength additive, retention aid, and drainage aid to improve paper quality and production efficiency.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as a primary thickening, stabilizing, and film-forming agent in hair gels, creams, lotions, and other aqueous-based products.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Utilized as a mobility control agent in polymer flooding to improve oil displacement and recovery from reservoirs.
• Agriculture: Employed as a soil conditioner and hydrogel to improve water retention, reduce irrigation frequency, and enhance seed germination.
• Textile & Dyeing: Used as a thickener for printing pastes and as a processing aid to improve dye uptake and fabric handle.
• Construction: Incorporated into cementitious mixtures and gypsum plasters as a water-retaining agent and workability aid.

Quality Control

Our Acrylamide/Sodium Acrylate Copolymer is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for critical parameters including molecular weight distribution, degree of hydrolysis (acrylate content), residual monomer content (acrylamide), viscosity, and solubility. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available for every shipment to ensure compliance with your specifications and relevant industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep the original container sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
