Description

Poly(Acrylamide-Co-Acrylic Acid) is a synthetic, water-soluble copolymer of acrylamide and acrylic acid. This versatile polymer is engineered to provide exceptional thickening, flocculation, and water-retention properties, making it a critical performance additive in numerous industrial processes. It is essential for industries requiring efficient water management, soil conditioning, and the stabilization of colloidal suspensions.

Application

• Water Treatment: Acts as a highly effective flocculant and coagulant aid for clarifying drinking water, treating industrial wastewater, and sludge dewatering.
• Paper Manufacturing: Used as a retention and drainage aid, as well as a dry strength agent to improve paper quality and production efficiency.
• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Serves as a viscosifier in polymer flooding operations to improve sweep efficiency and increase crude oil yield.
• Agriculture & Soil Conditioning: Functions as a soil stabilizer and hydrogel to improve water retention, reduce erosion, and promote seed germination.
• Textile & Dyeing: Utilized as a thickener in pigment printing pastes and as a processing aid to improve fabric hand-feel and dye uniformity.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed as a rheology modifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Mining & Mineral Processing: Applied as a settling and filtration aid to separate solids from liquids in mineral slurry processing.
• Construction: Used in cement and gypsum-based formulations to improve workability, adhesion, and reduce water migration.

Quality Control

Our Poly(Acrylamide-Co-Acrylic Acid) is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistent performance, including analysis of monomer ratio, 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); containers must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent caking and degradation from atmospheric moisture.
