FLOPAM AN 926 Equivalent — Medium-Charge Anionic Polyacrylamide
SNF lists FLOPAM AN 926 in its anionic powder range between AN 923 and AN 934, and in that range the grade number tracks anionicity — the higher the number, the more anionic the polymer. AN 926 therefore sits in the medium charge band. SNF publishes charge and molecular weight profiles against the suffixed grades rather than the bare number: AN 926 SH is listed at medium charge density with very high molecular weight, and AN 926 VHM at medium charge with ultra high molecular weight. In the anionic FLOPAM range the suffix moves molecular weight while charge stays inside the same band, which is why both suffixes carry the same charge descriptor. Our matching product is a high molecular weight, high charge density anionic polyacrylamide powder on our own scale. Because the two houses publish on different scales with different band boundaries, we set the grade on a jar test of your actual stream rather than by converting one descriptor into the other, and we ship a free trial quantity for exactly that purpose.

Dosage Guide
Anionic polymer demand for clarification and tailings duty is set by the water and the solids, not by the datasheet. Establish it by jar test and use your current AN 926 active dose rate as the starting reference. Make up at 0.1 to 0.3 percent and allow full ageing before dosing.
Frequently Asked Questions — FLOPAM AN 926 Equivalent — Medium-Charge Anionic Polyacrylamide
I use plain AN 926 with no suffix. Which of your grades applies?
Send us the full grade string as it appears on your delivery note. SNF publishes its charge and molecular weight profile against the suffixed grades, so the bare number on its own does not tell us which molecular weight band you are running. Once we have the full string, or a sample of the product you use now, we set the grade on a jar test rather than by guessing at the missing suffix.
Does the suffix change the charge as well as the molecular weight?
Not in the anionic AN range. AN 926 SH and AN 926 VHM are both published at medium charge, and only the molecular weight descriptor moves. That is not true everywhere in the FLOPAM line — in parts of the cationic FO range a suffix does shift the charge band — so we still ask for the full string rather than assuming.
Why does your charge descriptor read high when SNF publishes AN 926 as medium?
Because the two scales are not the same scale. They have different numbers of steps and different band boundaries, so one polymer can sit in differently named bands on each side. We label every row with whose scale it belongs to instead of converting between them, because a converted figure would look more precise than the underlying data supports.
How should I run the comparison?
Run a jar test on the same water sample on the same day, matched on active polymer dose rather than on product weight, and record settled turbidity and floc settling rate together. Comparing on product weight alone is misleading when two products differ in active content.
Is your product a licensed copy of AN 926?
No. It is an independently manufactured anionic polyacrylamide positioned against the published AN 926 profile, not a licensed or reverse-engineered copy. FLOPAM is a trademark of SNF and we make no claim of affiliation. Confirm performance on your own water before changing supply.
