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.
Buying anionic polyacrylamide from a factory-direct supplier in China
As an anionic polyacrylamide factory rather than a trading company, ChinaPAM ships APAM directly from our Henan production base, so bulk and wholesale buyers avoid the markup that layered suppliers add. Whether you are sourcing anionic polyacrylamide for municipal wastewater, mineral tailings, or coal washing, we quote on the grade and molecular weight your process needs, not a one-size-fits-all price. For buyers evaluating anionic polyacrylamide manufacturers and suppliers in China, the practical comparison points are consistent: confirmed MOQ of 500 kg, free samples for jar testing, 7-10 day lead time on common grades, T/T or L/C terms, and grade-specific TDS, COA, and SDS on request.
Wholesale APAM orders ship in 25 kg kraft or PE bags with OEM label support available. To move from comparison to a quote, share your application, water chemistry, and solids load so we can match the right anionic polyacrylamide grade before pricing.
