What SNF Publishes for the Bare AN 956 Entry
Page 39 of the SNF FLOPAM 2007 catalogue places bare AN 956 in the standard anionic powder table at High charge and Standard molecular weight. It reports an approximate bulk density of 0.80 and Brookfield readings of 1600 cps at 5 g/L, 650 cps at 2.5 g/L and 250 cps at 1 g/L.
The same entry gives 3 g/L as the recommended preparation concentration, 5 g/L as the maximum, and 60 minutes dissolution at 5 g/L in deionised water at 25°C. It records one-day solution stability, 0–35°C storage, a 24-month shelf-life under the catalogue storage note, and 25 kg or 750 kg packaging. These facts identify the exact bare grade; they are not transferred to a suffixed entry.
High Charge Helps Capture Fines, but the Dose Window Must Be Proven
Bare AN 956 is a high-charge Standard-MW entry. High charge can improve attachment to fine suspended solids, but it also makes dose control more important: a route that captures fines quickly can move past its optimum and lose clarity if the operator responds only to floc size.
Start with CNfloc 1054 at the incumbent active dose and bracket downward as well as upward. Bring in 1054VK only when the first route shows the right charge response but the application needs a different high-MW handling position. The winning point is the lowest stable dose that holds both settling and final clarity.
Failure Modes That Can Make a AN 956 Trial Lie
A supplier-switch test is useful only when preparation and observation conditions are controlled. The checks below are tied to this grade position and give the operator a visible signal before a purchasing decision is made.
| Trigger | Consequence | What to observe |
|---|---|---|
| Increasing dose after clarity has already peaked | Polymer excess can reduce clarity and raise treatment cost | Turbidity or supernatant clarity plotted against each dose step |
| Treating AN 956 SH/VHM as the same product as bare AN 956 | The trial starts from the wrong molecular-weight and dissolution expectation | Full label suffix and incumbent stock-solution viscosity |
| Judging only visible floc size | Large open floc is selected even when final clarity or compaction is worse | Settling rate, final clarity and bed height recorded together |
The Commercial Answer
ChinaPAM supplies the anionic powder route described on this page and can discuss current pricing, quantity, destination, sample arrangements and applicable documents immediately. The buyer does not need to complete a technical questionnaire before asking for a quotation.
The technical boundary is equally direct: ChinaPAM is an independent manufacturer and does not claim that CNfloc 1054 is identical to FLOPAM AN 956. The supply decision is confirmed by a controlled trial on the buyer's stream, using the incumbent result as the baseline.
Dosage Guide
Use the current bare FLOPAM AN 956 active dose as the first reference point. Prepare the quoted ChinaPAM powder at 1–3 g/L, allow complete hydration, and run a stepped side-by-side comparison on the same stream. Confirm the lowest stable dose that holds both separation rate and final clarity.
Frequently Asked Questions — FLOPAM AN 956 Equivalent — High-Charge Standard-MW Anionic PAM
Can ChinaPAM quote a supply route for bare FLOPAM AN 956 now?
Yes. ChinaPAM starts the inquiry with CNfloc 1054. Send the exact bare grade, quantity and destination for current pricing, a trial sample and the applicable documents. Suitability is confirmed on the buyer's process rather than promised from a cross-manufacturer label comparison.
Is bare AN 956 the same product as AN 956 SH or AN 956 VHM?
No. SNF publishes the bare, SH and VHM entries separately. The suffix changes the molecular-weight tier, viscosity and preparation demand. This page covers only the bare AN 956 entry on page 39.
Why are the two manufacturers’ charge and molecular-weight words not converted directly?
Low, medium, high and standard are supplier-specific qualitative bands. They are useful for choosing a starting route, but they are not common numerical specifications. ChinaPAM names its route and then settles the choice by a matched trial.
What should the comparison trial keep constant?
Use the same water or slurry sample, active dose basis, solution age, mixing energy and observation time. Record clarity or turbidity together with settling rate and the point where additional dose stops improving the result.
What information is enough to open the quotation?
The printed grade string FLOPAM AN 956, quantity and destination are enough to start. A label photo, current dose and preparation arrangement improve the trial plan but are not required before we discuss price and sample options.
