FLOPAM FO 4240 SH Alternative Selection (CNfloc C8008 / C8003)

A confirmed FLOPAM FO 4240 SH requirement is Low charge and High molecular weight at the same time. The ChinaPAM cationic powder ladder has no grade in both bands, so the honest answer is two routes rather than one match. CNfloc C8008 is the primary route because it holds the Low charge band exactly — its gap is chain length, since it sits at Medium molecular weight. CNfloc C8003 is the backup because it holds the High molecular weight band — its gap is charge, since it sits at High charge against a Low charge target. Price and sample arrangements are open for discussion from the first message, and the applicable document set and your application conditions can be checked at the same time.

The state is a selection service. ChinaPAM does not supply the branded FLOPAM grade, does not claim an identical or drop-in product, and does not guarantee performance ahead of a trial. Nor are the two routes added together: C8008 and C8003 are alternatives, and quoting both does not produce a grade that satisfies both axes. What a trial decides is which single gap your sludge and your equipment tolerate.

ChinaPAM’s own manufacturing and document position is on the supplier profile and the certifications and compliance page. The 2007 SNF catalogue cited here is a competitor document and establishes nothing about ChinaPAM.

The SH suffix is part of the identity, not a decoration. SH, SSH and the bare FO 4240 occupy different positions, and dropping or substituting a suffix changes which product is being discussed.

FO 4240 SH is a distinct entry inside the FO 4000 SH & SHU table, and within that table it is positioned at High molecular weight. The bare FO 4240 sits at Standard molecular weight. Those are different chain-length targets, so an SH requirement answered from the bare-grade position moves in the wrong direction before the trial even starts.

Use the suffix exactly as printed on the bag. Compare the bare grade under FLOPAM FO 4240, which expressly excludes SH and SSH; compare SSH under FLOPAM FO 4000 SSH. ChinaPAM keeps the three designations separate so the quoted route follows the correct chain-length target.

All three come from page 7 of the 2007 catalogue. The first fixes the position; the second and third are historical figures about the incumbent product.

Useful intake: the incumbent grade with its full suffix as printed on the bag; the machine and its shear regime; sludge type and origin; feed solids; pH and temperature; polymer make-up equipment as installed; the make-down water you will actually use, with its hardness, chloride and temperature, since dissolution behaviour follows the water and not the bag; current active dose; the trial quantity and the likely purchase quantity; the destination port or plant; and the cake dryness or filtrate target you are measured against.

Both axes matter here. A low-charge requirement answered at the wrong chain length will dose differently and floc differently even if the charge band is right, and the reverse is equally true. Because neither route holds both axes, the trial is designed to expose each route’s own gap rather than to confirm a guess.

Packaging and minimum order quantity are confirmed with the quotation against grade, destination and order conditions. The 25 kg bag and 750 kg big bag figures that appear on this page belong to the 2007 competitor catalogue and are reproduced as incumbent context only; no ChinaPAM packaging size, order minimum or lead time is asserted here.

Acceptance targets are agreed before the trial: cake dryness, filtrate or centrate quality, throughput, active dose and handling behaviour at a make-up concentration your plant can actually run.

ChinaPAM powder preparation runs at a 1–3 g/L recommended window, 5 g/L maximum, and no longer than 60 minutes at working concentration. Preparation concentration is not process dosage.

For reference only, the 2007 catalogue published 4 g/L as the recommended preparation concentration for the incumbent product, 10 g/L as the maximum, and 90 minutes dissolution in deionized water at 5 g/L and 25 °C, with one-day solution stability. The figures quoted from the 2007 catalogue are historical and indicative. They are reproduced here as context for an incumbent product, not as a current competitor specification and not as a ChinaPAM specification. They are shown here because an operator changing over needs to know how the two handling regimes differ, not because either set of numbers transfers to the other product.

The practical consequence is that the make-up concentration a plant is used to running may sit above the ChinaPAM window. That is checked before the trial is scheduled, since make-up concentration drives hydration and therefore the delivered active dose.

The first is an identity error, the second is inherent to a two-axis bracket. Neither comes from the polymer itself, and both are cheap to rule out before any bulk commitment.

Run the comparison on the same sludge, the same machine and the same time window, normalised to active polymer rather than solution volume, across a dose ladder instead of a single point. Record cake dryness, filtrate or centrate quality, floc strength under the shear the machine applies, throughput and the full dose response. If neither CNfloc C8008 nor C8003 passes, the correct next step is to reopen the charge-band and molecular-weight decision rather than to declare an equivalence.

What stands behind the quotation is ChinaPAM’s own position, not a competitor catalogue: see the supplier profile and the certifications and compliance page. Applicable document set and TDS availability are confirmed against the quoted ChinaPAM grade; a batch-specific COA is tied to a confirmed shipment only. Price and sample arrangements are open for discussion now; current competitor specification, competitor stock and ChinaPAM lead time stay unclaimed until separately confirmed.
