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.

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.
