Polyacrylamide can act as a flocculant for suspended matter. It can accelerate the sedimentation of particles in the floating liquid and the clarification of the solution in water treatment, paper industry and food industry. Compared with traditional flocculants, polyacrylamide has a smaller dosage and is more efficient. High, sometimes better results can be obtained when used with inorganic coagulants.

As a thickener, polyacrylamide is also widely used in coatings, adhesives, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and other fields, and because it is a transparent substance, it will not bring color changes to the raw materials, which has great advantages.


In many industries, its different characteristics or the combination of multiple characteristics can play a better role. For example, it can be used as a drilling mud regulator in oil production to adjust the rheology of drilling fluid, and can also be used as an oil-displacing agent to increase the viscosity of the driving fluid, improve the recovery rate of crude oil. it is also used as a water plugging material to solve the problem of water production in oil wells, etc. .
