Description
Polyacrylamide Supplier | Bulk PAM Flocculant | Nwans Chemicals
Nwans Chemicals is a trusted Polyacrylamide Supplier providing high-quality Anionic, Cationic, and Non-Ionic Polyacrylamide (PAM) for mining, mineral processing, water treatment, wastewater treatment, sludge dewatering, paper manufacturing, and various industrial applications. Our premium Polyacrylamide products deliver excellent flocculation, clarification, solid-liquid separation, and water recovery for customers throughout South Africa, Africa, and international markets.
Product Overview
What Is Polyacrylamide (PAM)?
Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a high molecular weight, water-soluble polymer widely used as a flocculant to improve solid-liquid separation. It binds suspended particles into larger flocs, making them easier to remove through sedimentation, clarification, filtration, or mechanical dewatering.
Polyacrylamide is supplied in three primary grades:
- Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM)
- Cationic Polyacrylamide (CPAM)
- Non-Ionic Polyacrylamide (NPAM)
Each grade is designed for specific water chemistry and industrial applications.
Available Polyacrylamide Grades
| Grade | Ionic Charge | Description | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM) | Negative | Designed for inorganic particles and mineral processing. | Mining, tailings thickening, coal washing, clarification and water recovery |
| Cationic Polyacrylamide (CPAM) | Positive | Ideal for organic sludge and wastewater treatment. | Sludge dewatering, municipal wastewater, industrial effluent and paper manufacturing |
| Non-Ionic Polyacrylamide (NPAM) | Neutral | Suitable for specialised applications requiring low ionic interaction. | Clay processing, textile manufacturing and fine particle separation |

Polyacrylamide Applications
Mining and Mineral Processing
Polyacrylamide is widely used in mining and mineral processing to improve tailings thickening, clarification, solid-liquid separation, and process water recovery. Its excellent flocculation properties help increase operational efficiency, reduce water consumption, and enhance mineral recovery across a wide range of mining applications.
Nwans Chemicals also supplies a comprehensive range of Mining Chemicals, including Caustic Soda Flakes, Sulphuric Acid, and Sodium Cyanide, to support mineral extraction and processing operations.

- International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM)
- Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration (SME)
- Minerals Council South Africa
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Polyacrylamide is widely used in municipal and industrial water treatment processes to improve coagulation and flocculation, enhancing the removal of suspended solids and producing clearer, higher-quality water. It is commonly used in drinking water treatment, municipal wastewater treatment, industrial wastewater treatment, sludge thickening, and clarifier systems.
