Cationic Polyacrylamide (CPAM) | PAMCHEM

 

Cationic Polyacrylamide (CPAM) is a linear, water-soluble synthetic copolymer functionalized with quaternary ammonium groups. In municipal and industrial liquid-solid separation, CPAM neutralizes the negative surface charge of suspended colloids and forms shear-resistant flocs via polymer bridging.


PAMCHEM manufactures CPAM via controlled radical polymerization, maintaining low residual monomer levels and batch-to-batch structural uniformity across tailored molecular weight tiers.

Storage

Non-hazardous classification. Store in dry, ventilated areas between 5°C and 30°C. Protect from moisture.

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: How do I prevent undissolved polymer lumps ("fisheyes") when preparing powder solutions?

A: Use an automated screw feeder to sift powder evenly into a high-turbulence water vortex (400–800 RPM). Maintain water temperature at 10°C–35°C and allow a 45–60 minute aging cycle before dosing.

Q: How do I select the correct charge density for sludge dewatering?

A: Secondary biological sludges typically require medium-to-high ion degrees (30%–50%), while mineral or digested sludges perform best with lower ion degrees (10%–25%). Run jar tests to confirm exact charge neutrality.

Q: What is the certified shelf life under standard storage?

A: Unopened solid powders remain stable for 24 months in dry conditions. Liquid emulsions maintain stability for 6 months; protect from freezing or continuous temperatures exceeding 40°C.

Q: Can PAMCHEM customize molecular weight for specialized industrial effluents?

A: Yes. Synthesis parameters can be adjusted during production runs to meet specific performance benchmarks. Submit effluent parameters via pamchem.com for formulation review.

Q: What compliance documents accompany commercial shipments?

A: Each order includes a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), Commercial Invoice, Packing List, and Bill of Lading.

Q: What is the standard lead time for bulk orders?

A: Standard production and dispatch take 7 to 14 business days following order confirmation, shipped from port facilities with non-hazardous chemical clearance.
