Description

Starch-Acrylamide Polymer is a synthetic, water-soluble copolymer derived from starch and acrylamide monomers. This versatile polymer is engineered to provide superior thickening, flocculation, and water retention properties, making it a critical performance additive in numerous industrial processes. Key industries that rely on this polymer include water treatment, paper manufacturing, textiles, and enhanced oil recovery.

Application

• Water Treatment: Acts as a highly effective flocculant and coagulant aid for clarifying process water and wastewater, promoting the settling of suspended solids.
• Paper Industry: Used as a retention aid and dry-strength additive to improve paper formation, fiber retention, and the final sheet's physical properties.
• Textile Sizing & Finishing: Serves as a sizing agent for warp yarns and a finishing agent to impart stiffness and body to fabrics.
• Oilfield Applications: Functions as a viscosifier and fluid loss control agent in drilling muds and as a mobility control agent in chemical flooding for enhanced oil recovery (EOR).
• Agriculture: Employed as a soil conditioner and hydrogel to improve water retention in arid soils and for seed coating.
• Construction: Utilized as an additive in cement and gypsum-based products to improve workability, adhesion, and reduce water segregation.

Quality Control

Our Starch-Acrylamide Polymer is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent performance in key parameters such as molecular weight distribution, viscosity, and residual monomer content. 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); ensure the container is kept tightly sealed to prevent caking or degradation due to moisture absorption.
