Description

Acrylamide/Ammonium Acrylate Copolymer is a synthetic, water-soluble polymer derived from the copolymerization of acrylamide and ammonium acrylate. This versatile material is valued for its exceptional flocculation, thickening, and water-retention properties, making it a critical performance additive in numerous industrial processes. It is primarily utilized by professionals in the water treatment, paper manufacturing, mineral processing, and personal care industries to enhance efficiency and product performance.

Application

• Water & Wastewater Treatment: Acts as a highly effective flocculant for clarifying process water, treating industrial effluent, and sludge dewatering.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Used as a retention and drainage aid to improve fiber retention, sheet formation, and water removal on the paper machine wire.
• Mineral Processing: Serves as a selective flocculant and settling aid in the beneficiation of ores such as iron ore, potash, and coal.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a film-forming agent, thickener, and stabilizer in hair care products, creams, and lotions.
• Textile Industry: Employed as a sizing agent and thickener in fabric printing and finishing processes.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Used in polymer flooding to increase the viscosity of injected water, improving sweep efficiency and oil displacement.
• Agriculture: Applied as a soil conditioner to improve water retention and reduce irrigation frequency in arid regions.
• Construction: Added to cementitious mixtures and grouts to improve workability, reduce water loss, and enhance adhesion.

Quality Control

Our Acrylamide/Ammonium Acrylate Copolymer is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for critical parameters including ionic character, molecular weight distribution, residual monomer content, and solution viscosity to ensure consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after initial use to prevent caking and maintain product integrity.
