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 1 to 3 g/L 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 select the grade by jar test rather than by guessing at the missing suffix.
What is the practical difference between AN 926 VHM and AN 926 SH?
Charge is the same for both: medium. The suffix moves molecular weight. AN 926 VHM is ultra high MW; AN 926 SH is very high MW. At the test concentration of 5 g/L, the SNF 2007 table shows SH at 1,700 cps and VHM at 1,600 cps — a small reversal that is consistent across the table and not a data error. SH also dissolves faster: 60 min versus 90 min at 5 g/L and 25°C. Send your full grade string including the suffix so we can confirm the right molecular weight tier for your duty.
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 is the recommended make-up concentration lower than AN 910?
AN 926 sits higher in the medium charge band than AN 910 which is in the low charge band, and SNF publishes different preparation windows for each: 3 g/L recommended and 5 g/L maximum for AN 926, versus 5 g/L recommended and 10 g/L maximum for AN 910. Follow the SNF published parameters for the grade you are running; use our preparation parameters (1–3 g/L, max 5 g/L) when making up our product.
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.
