Anionic Polyacrylamide Manufacturer China for Water Treatment and Mining
ChinaPAM supplies factory-direct anionic PAM grades from our Henan manufacturing base, covering 3-28 million molecular weight with 0-45% hydrolysis degree. For buyers comparing anionic polyacrylamide manufacturers in China, these grades cover municipal wastewater treatment, raw-water clarification, coal washing, and mineral tailings thickening. Powder grades use a public baseline of ≥90% solid content; exact residual monomer and other parameters should be confirmed by grade and batch COA.
What APAM buyers usually ask before ordering
Manufacturer checks
MOQ 500 kg, free samples, standard lead time 7-10 days, T/T or L/C, and 25 kg kraft or PE packaging for common export orders.
Technical checks
Send your application, water chemistry, solids load, and equipment so the starting molecular weight and hydrolysis range can be matched before pricing.
Documents
Buyer review can include TDS, batch COA, and SDS for the exact grade under discussion.

Quick APAM Selection Guide
Use this shortlist to choose a starting APAM direction before sample testing and final grade confirmation.
| Application | Starting Grade | Selection Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Raw-water clarification | Medium MW APAM | Start with fast floc formation and confirm dosage by jar test and inlet water quality. |
| Municipal or industrial wastewater | Medium to high MW APAM | Balance settling speed, sludge compaction, and dosage stability before scale-up. |
| Coal washing and mineral tailings | High MW APAM | Prioritize settling rate, overflow clarity, and water recovery in thickeners. |
| EOR or oilfield flooding | High MW APAM | Match viscosity target, salinity tolerance, and shear stability before bulk order. |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) used for?
Anionic polyacrylamide is primarily used as a flocculant in water treatment (municipal wastewater and raw-water clarification), mining (coal washing and mineral tailings thickening), and oil & gas (enhanced oil recovery). It works by bridging suspended particles into larger flocs that settle quickly.
What is the MOQ, lead time, and packaging for APAM export orders?
The standard trial-order MOQ is 500 kg. Common-grade lead time is usually 7-10 days after order confirmation. Standard export packaging is 25 kg kraft paper bags with plastic liner or 25 kg PE bags.
What molecular weight APAM do I need?
For municipal wastewater: 12-18 million MW. For raw-water clarification: confirm grade and documents by local requirements. For mining tailings: 15-25 million MW for faster settling. For enhanced oil recovery: 20-25 million MW for viscosity. Our team can recommend a starting grade after reviewing your sample and process.
How should I compare anionic polyacrylamide manufacturers in China?
Compare manufacturer-backed facts first: MOQ 500 kg, free sample support, T/T or L/C payment scope, 25 kg export packaging, grade-specific TDS, batch COA, SDS, and whether the supplier asks about your water, slurry, or solids data before quoting. A useful APAM quote should match application and molecular-weight range before price comparison.
What is the typical dosage rate for anionic PAM?
Dosage depends on application: municipal wastewater 1-3 mg/L, raw-water clarification 0.5-2 mg/L starting range, mining tailings 20-50 g/ton of dry solids, and paper mill effluent 2-5 mg/L. Always run jar tests because dosage varies with water chemistry and suspended solids concentration.
What documents can I review before a bulk APAM order?
Buyer review can include grade-specific TDS, batch COA, and SDS for the exact APAM grade under discussion. Free samples are available before bulk confirmation so jar testing can happen before finalizing the order.
