Understanding Polyacrylamide (PAM) Specifications, Grades and Supplier Selection

Choosing the right Polyacrylamide (PAM) (聚丙烯酰胺) comes down to reading the specification sheet correctly. This guide explains the numbers that matter and how to select a supplier you can trust.

Key Specifications of Polyacrylamide (PAM)

As an PAM flocculant (CPAM/APAM/NPAM), the product is defined by a small set of parameters:

• Molecular formula: (C3H5NO)n
• CAS No.: 9003-05-8
• Appearance: White crystalline powder particles
• Packaging: 25Kg bag (inner plastic, outer PP woven)
• Standard: GB/T 31246-2014

Grade and Quality Considerations

Not all industrial water plant treatment chemicals are equal. For Polyacrylamide (PAM), confirm active content, moisture and impurity limits against the cited standard. A reputable PAM flocculant (CPAM/APAM/NPAM) supplier provides a Certificate of Analysis (COA) per batch and supports third-party testing.

Selection Checklist

1. Match the application: Industrial wastewater treatment, drinking water treatment; paper making, mining, medical, building materials.
2. Confirm packaging matches your handling (drum vs. bag, 25Kg bag (inner plastic, outer PP woven)).
3. Verify the standard (GB/T 31246-2014) and request documentation.
4. Check lead time and container-load options for export.

Storage and Handling

Store Polyacrylamide (PAM) in a dry, ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Follow the MSDS for PPE and spill response. Many buyers combine this product with Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) in a single sourcing plan to reduce freight and admin cost.
