Brand Equivalent Polyacrylamide Grades
ChinaPAM supplies alternative polyacrylamide routes for documented FLOPAM, Zetag, Superfloc, Magnafloc, Praestol and NALCO grade inquiries. Open a brand-grade supply page for the documented starting route, or send the grade name, a bag-label photo or your purchasing requirement for a price and supply review. Process details can follow when available.
Two things worth stating plainly. First, none of the documented comparisons are licensed or reverse-engineered copies — they are independently manufactured grades, and we say which published descriptor each one is positioned against. Second, molecular weight and charge density are published as descriptors rather than exact figures by every major supplier, ours included, because both vary within a production window. So a like-for-like table tells you where to start, not what your optimal dose will be. That comes from a jar test on your actual water or sludge. Contact us to discuss trial arrangements.
Brand Grade Supply Pages
Each page carries a parameter-level comparison table, specifications and FAQs for one brand grade.

Solenis Zetag
| Brand Grade | ChinaPAM Supply Route | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 9214-DE | Zetag 9200 Series — ChinaPAM Selection Service | Low charge, linear structure, cationic inverse-emulsion liquid at very high relative MW. Effective pH range 4–9 and potable water applications excluded, per its data sheet. The -DE suffix is mandatory; a bare 9214 is not accepted as an alias. ChinaPAM proposes C8008 as the main powder route with C8001 or C8015 as backup. Selection service — no identical product and no drop-in claim. |
| 9216 | Zetag 9200 Series — ChinaPAM Selection Service | Medium charge, linear structure, cationic inverse-emulsion liquid at very high relative MW. ChinaPAM proposes C8001 or C8015 as the main powder route. Selection service — no identical product and no drop-in claim. |
| 9219 | Zetag 9200 Series — ChinaPAM Selection Service | Highest charge band in this group — labelled ultra high in the data sheet and very high in the accompanying FAQ — with a linear structure. The PDF file metadata reads 9219FS but the visible data sheet content governs and carries no FS suffix. ChinaPAM proposes C8055 or C8006 as the main powder route. Selection service — no identical product and no drop-in claim. |
| 9248FS | Zetag 9200 Series — ChinaPAM Selection Service | High charge, cross-linked / Medium-Structure, cationic inverse-emulsion liquid at very high relative MW. ChinaPAM proposes C8003, C8035, C8004, C8045 or C8005 from the high charge band; the structure requirement stays an open trial question because the available ChinaPAM grade data publishes no architecture field. Selection service — no identical product and no drop-in claim. |
| 9249FS | Zetag 9200 Series — ChinaPAM Selection Service | Ultra-high to very-high charge with a cross-linked structure, cationic inverse-emulsion liquid at very high relative MW.

How to Evaluate a Change of Supplier
- Record your current baseline. Note the grade, the dose rate in ppm or g/t, and the result you hold it to — supernatant turbidity, cake dryness, filtrate clarity, whichever governs your process. Without a baseline number no comparison can be settled.
- Request the matching trial grade. Tell us the brand and grade you run now. Contact us to discuss trial arrangements for the grade we position against it.
- Jar test side by side on your own stream. Run the incumbent and the trial grade on the same sample, same mixing energy, starting from your existing dose. Water chemistry and solids loading decide the optimum, so this step cannot be replaced by a datasheet.
- Trial on one line before committing. If the jar test matches, run a single line or a single batch in production. Full-scale mixing and residence time behave differently from a beaker.
- Then price it. Compare on cost per tonne treated, not cost per kilogram. A cheaper polymer at a higher dose is not cheaper.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these licensed copies of the original brand products?
No. They are independently manufactured polyacrylamide grades. For documented comparisons, the base chemistry is in the same family and we position each grade against a published brand profile, but nothing here is a licensed or reverse-engineered copy. For grades in the inquiry table, chemistry profile has not been independently confirmed — we capture the exact name and review supply options once you share your TDS or application duty. We recommend confirming any documented comparison with a jar test on your own stream.
How can you compare grades if suppliers do not publish exact figures?
Major suppliers publish descriptors — low / medium / high molecular weight and charge density — rather than exact numbers, because both properties vary within a production window. We follow the same convention and label whose scale a value comes from, so a comparison never implies more precision than either side actually publishes.
What is the safest way to change supplier without risking my process?
Run a jar test against your incumbent on your actual water or sludge, using your current dose rate as the baseline. Contact us to discuss trial arrangements for the grade we position against yours. Optimal dosage depends on water chemistry, solids loading and mixing energy, so we do not publish a conversion factor from one grade to another.
What documentation comes with a shipment?
Contact us to discuss what documentation is applicable to your grade and order. Applicable TDS, safety data and relevant batch certificates are confirmed as part of the supply discussion for the specific grade and order.
