FLOPAM AN 945 Equivalent — High Charge Anionic Polyacrylamide
SNF publishes FLOPAM AN 945 and AN 956 as high charge density anionic polyacrylamide powders at standard molecular weight, and AN 945 SH at the same charge with very high molecular weight. Our closest grade sits at very high charge density on our own scale with medium molecular weight, which makes it the grade we put forward when the duty is charge-driven rather than bridging-driven. That distinction decides whether this page or our [AN 934 SH equivalent](/products/brand-equivalents/flopam-an-934-sh-equivalent) is the right starting point: AN 934 is a medium-charge family where molecular weight does the work, while the AN 945 and AN 956 numbers move charge up substantially at similar chain length.

Dosage Guide
Polymer demand for high charge anionic duty is established by settling or jar test on the target slurry or water. Use your current AN 945 or AN 956 dose rate as the starting reference and expect the optimum to move if you are on recycled or high-hardness water.
Frequently Asked Questions — FLOPAM AN 945 Equivalent — High Charge Anionic Polyacrylamide
What is the difference between AN 945 and AN 956?
In the FLOPAM anionic naming convention the second and third digits track charge density, so both sit in the same high charge band with AN 956 slightly above AN 945. Molecular weight is carried by the suffix, not the number. Both map onto the same starting grade on our side, and we separate them on the trial result rather than on the number.
Why does this page not name a specific grade of yours?
Because the honest match depends on the suffix and the duty. AN 945 at standard molecular weight and AN 945 SH at very high molecular weight are different polymers despite sharing a charge band, and putting one grade number on this page would mean recommending it for both. Send us the full grade string from your bags and the stream you are treating and we will name the grade.
Should I be on this page or the AN 934 page?
If your bags read AN 934 in any suffix, use the [AN 934 SH equivalent](/products/brand-equivalents/flopam-an-934-sh-equivalent) page — that is a medium charge family where molecular weight does the work. AN 945 and AN 956 move charge up substantially. Choosing on charge band first and molecular weight second is the reliable order.
Can this grade handle high salinity flowback water?
High total dissolved solids screen polymer charge, collapse the chain and cut bridging reach, so a grade that performs on fresh-water slurry can disappoint on high-salinity flowback. Send us the salinity, suspended solids and residual oil content and we will select against those conditions rather than assuming mineral duty.
Is your grade a licensed copy of AN 945?
No. It is an independently manufactured anionic polyacrylamide positioned against the published AN 945 profile. Grade descriptors follow different in-house scales, which is why we show each side on its own scale and ask you to confirm with a settling or jar test on your own slurry.
