FLOPAM CB Series Equivalent — Cationic PAM Powder Screening for CB 120 and CB 190
ChinaPAM supplies cationic polyacrylamide powder for FLOPAM CB 120 and CB 190 requirements. Send the exact CB grade, quantity and destination and we will name the ChinaPAM screening grade, quote current pricing and plan an evaluation. CB 120 and CB 190 share a family name and a charge direction but not a viscosity, so the grade number decides the preparation check.
Supply Route Comparison
Published reference data and the ChinaPAM route for SNF FLOPAM CB series
Competitor figures are from the archived SNF powder and bead catalogue, table FLOPAM CB (PDF page 10). The printed edition year of this archived catalogue is not confirmed. SNF states these data are given for information only and do not constitute a specification. They are historical indicative values under SNF test conditions, not ChinaPAM specifications and not evidence of current SNF availability.

- Charge-led ChinaPAM start with a trial-led molecular-weight check
- 90-minute preparation window from the SNF column used as the make-up baseline
- Viscosity measured at your working concentration before tank and pump settings are fixed
- Quotation, evaluation plan and documents through one enquiry
Applications
- CB 120 or CB 190 supplier-change qualification
- Low-charge cationic duties where the current grade is a CB line
- Make-up tank throughput re-check during changeover
- Checking a tender line that names a CB grade

CB Grade Selector: Two Grades, Two Viscosity Levels
Read the exact number from your bag label or purchase order. Both CB grades start from the same ChinaPAM grade because ChinaPAM has no standard-molecular-weight cationic row; what changes between them is the viscosity your make-up has to handle and the charge the trial has to cover. SNF and ChinaPAM use separate qualitative bands that do not convert numerically.
| Exact SNF grade | SNF charge / MW | Brookfield cps at 5 / 2.5 / 1 g/L | Bulk density | ChinaPAM start and trial range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CB 120 | Very Low / Standard | 175 / 80 / 30 | 0.80 | C8008; trial alone first |
| CB 190 | Low / Standard | 590 / 300 / 120 | 0.80 | C8008; add C8001 if the feed wants more charge |
Three CB Facts Buyers Can Trace
Identity: SNF heads the CB table as cationic polyacrylamide powder of standard molecular weight and describes the family as hydrolysis resistant. That description is an SNF family property and is not claimed for any ChinaPAM grade.
Spread: CB 120 is labelled Very Low charge and CB 190 Low charge, and their indicative Brookfield values at 5 g/L are 175 cps and 590 cps. SNF gives these as average indicative values and notes that a viscosity ten times lower can be used when choosing preparation and dosing equipment.
Preparation: both columns list 5 g/L recommended and 10 g/L maximum make-up, 90 minutes dissolution and 2 days solution stability. The 90-minute window is longer than several other SNF cationic families, which matters for tank turnover.
Two Failure Modes to Check Before Bulk Supply
Both come from treating CB as a single line item.
| Failure mode | Trigger | Symptom | Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Family name or charge label only | CB 120 and CB 190 are bought against one another as "low-charge CB" | Solution viscosity, pump pressure or dosing response changes after changeover | Quote the exact number and measure viscosity at your working concentration |
| Borrowed preparation schedule | A make-up time from another family is applied to a 90-minute CB line | Tank throughput is mis-sized and solution is dosed before it is fully prepared | Time dissolution of the selected grade at your make-up concentration before fixing batch cycles |
Same-Sample Evaluation Plan
Keep your current CB grade as the baseline. Prepare it and the ChinaPAM grade at the same concentration inside the 5 to 10 g/L window, time the dissolution of each, and record solution viscosity before dosing. Where solution life matters, hold a portion for the same ageing period you use on site.
Dose both in steps on one representative sample with the same mixing energy and solution age, and record the response you run to: capture, cake dryness, filtrate or clarity. The lowest stable dose that meets the target selects the grade.
What to Send for a Quotation
The exact CB grade and quantity are enough to start pricing. These details sharpen the evaluation:
| Input | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| CB 120 or CB 190, from the bag label | Sets which viscosity level the make-up has to handle |
| Make-up concentration and batch cycle time | Checks the preparation window against your tank turnover |
| Solution holding time, pH and temperature | Decides whether an ageing check is added to the trial |
| Application, current dose and target result | Baseline and pass mark for the stepped comparison |
| Expected volume and destination | Pricing, packaging and lead time in the quotation |
Documents and Delivery
The applicable TDS is confirmed together with the selected ChinaPAM grade, and a batch COA is tied to the confirmed shipment. Packaging and lead time are confirmed in the quotation for your volume and destination.
Dosage Guide
Start from your current CB active dose. Prepare the ChinaPAM grade at the same working concentration, allow the full preparation time, and compare stepped doses on the same sample. Fix dose, tank cycle and pump settings only after the viscosity and dissolution checks agree.
Frequently Asked Questions — FLOPAM CB Series Equivalent — Cationic PAM Powder Screening for CB 120 and CB 190
Can ChinaPAM supply for a FLOPAM CB 120 or CB 190 requirement?
Yes. ChinaPAM supplies cationic polyacrylamide powder for CB enquiries. Send the exact grade, quantity and destination and we will name the screening grade, quote current pricing and arrange an evaluation plan.
CB 120 and CB 190 are both low-charge CB grades. Can I buy one for the other?
Not on the family name. SNF lists 175 cps at 5 g/L for CB 120 and 590 cps for CB 190, so the two solutions behave differently in make-up and pumping. Quote and test against the exact number.
Is the ChinaPAM grade hydrolysis resistant like the CB family?
That SNF description belongs to the CB family and is not transferred to ChinaPAM. If your process depends on solution life under specific pH or temperature, tell us the conditions and we will include an ageing check in the evaluation.
Which ChinaPAM grade do you start from?
C8008, the lowest cationic charge band in the ChinaPAM range. ChinaPAM has no standard-molecular-weight cationic row, so chain length is confirmed by trial rather than matched on paper.
Which documents come with the supply?
The TDS for the selected ChinaPAM grade is confirmed with the grade, and a batch COA is tied to the confirmed shipment. Packaging and lead time are set in the quotation.
