Polyacrylamide CAS No.:9003-05-8

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a linear polymer, the chemical formula is (C3H5NO) N. It is a hard glassy solid at room temperature, and its products include glue liquid, latex and white powder particles, translucent beads and flakes. Good thermal stability. It can be dissolved in water in any proportion, and the aqueous solution is a uniform and transparent liquid. After long-term storage, the viscosity of solution will decrease due to the slow degradation of polymer, especially when the storage and transportation conditions are poor. [1] As a lubricant, suspending agent, clay stabilizer, oil displacement agent, water loss reducer and thickening agent, polyacrylamide has been widely used in drilling, acidification, fracturing, water plugging, cementing, secondary oil recovery and tertiary oil recovery. It is an extremely important oilfield chemical.

Polyacrylamide is a synthetic polymer that is commonly used as a flocculant, thickening agent, or absorbent in various industries. It is made by the polymerization of acrylamide monomers.
Polyacrylamide can form a gel-like substance when mixed with water, making it useful in wastewater treatment, oil and gas production, and mining operations. It can help separate solid particles from liquid, allowing for easier filtration and removal of impurities.
In the agriculture industry, polyacrylamide can be used as a soil conditioner to improve water retention and reduce soil erosion. It can also be used in the production of paper and textiles to improve their strength and durability. CAS .:9003-05-8

However, polyacrylamide can also have negative environmental impacts if not properly managed. It can be toxic to aquatic organisms and may accumulate in the environment. Therefore, its use and disposal should be carefully regulated to minimize any potential harm.
