    Frequently Asked Questions
    What is Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM) and what is its CAS number?
    Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM) is a high molecular weight synthetic polymer derived from acrylamide monomers, also known as Acrylamide Homopolymer or Propenamide Homopolymer. Its CAS number is 9003-05-8. It appears as white to faintly yellow granules and is widely used as a flocculant and coagulant in water treatment applications.
    What are the main applications of APAM Polyacrylamide?
    APAM is primarily used in wastewater and effluent treatment, including municipal water plants and chemical manufacturing. It is also applied in papermaking, mining, and textile industries to enhance process efficiency. Additional applications include gel electrophoresis and super-absorbent material production due to its strong hydrogen bonding capacity with water molecules.
    What is the difference between APAM, NPAM, and CPAM?
    The three main types of Polyacrylamide differ in ionic charge and hydrolysis degree: APAM (Anionic) has a molecular weight of 5–22 million and a hydrolysis degree of 10–50%, making it ideal for treating negatively charged particles. NPAM (Nonionic) ranges from 8–12 million molecular weight with a very low hydrolysis degree of 0–5%, suitable for acidic environments. CPAM (Cationic) has a molecular weight of ≥1.0 million and a hydrolysis degree of 5–60%, best suited for treating organic and negatively charged sludge.
    Is APAM Polyacrylamide environmentally safe?
    Yes. APAM is considered environmentally friendly. It is non-decomposable in nature into toxic monomers, has no poisoning or harmful side effects, and its use is compliant with environmental protection standards. The product holds ISO, SGS, and CE certifications and supports regulatory compliance in wastewater management.
    What are the physical specifications of APAM Polyacrylamide?
    APAM is available as white to faintly yellow granules (20–100 mesh) with a solid content of ≥90% and a dissolution time of approximately 60 minutes. Its molecular weight ranges from 5 to 22 million, with a hydrolysis degree of 10–50%, allowing it to be customized for specific industrial flocculation and sedimentation requirements.
    How does APAM perform in challenging water treatment conditions?
    APAM demonstrates excellent adaptability across a wide range of pH levels, temperatures, and water chemistries, including high-salinity and high-turbidity environments. Its high molecular weight and customizable ionic charge enable tailored flocculation performance. Low dosage requirements also make it a highly cost-effective solution for large-scale industrial water treatment operations.
