FLOPAM FO 4650 Equivalent — Cationic PAM (CNfloc C8005)
SNF publishes FLOPAM FO 4650 as a high charge density, standard molecular weight cationic polyacrylamide powder. Our closest grade is CNfloc C8005, a high molecular weight cationic PAM at high charge density. The FO 4000 series is widely specified across Southeast Asia, Africa and the Middle East for municipal sludge dewatering and industrial solid–liquid separation, which is where we supply most of our cationic volume. Note that FO 4650 also exists in SH and VHM molecular weight variants; if your current product carries a suffix, tell us and we will match to the correct grade rather than assuming the standard version.

Dosage Guide
Cationic polymer demand is set by CST or jar test on the specific sludge stream. Use your current FO 4650 dose rate as the starting reference.
Frequently Asked Questions — FLOPAM FO 4650 Equivalent — Cationic PAM (CNfloc C8005)
What does the FO 4650 model number actually mean?
In the FLOPAM naming system the leading digit identifies the series and the middle digits track cationic charge, so 4650 sits in the high charge band. Molecular weight is carried by the suffix, not the number: FO 4650 is the standard molecular weight version, FO 4650 SH is higher, and FO 4650 VHM is higher still. This matters when matching grades.
I use FO 4650 SH, not plain FO 4650. Is CNfloc C8005 still right?
Not necessarily. FO 4650 SH is a higher molecular weight grade, and CNfloc C8055 is usually the better match there. Tell us the exact suffix on your current bags and we will select against it.
Is CNfloc C8005 a licensed copy of FO 4650?
No. It is an independently manufactured cationic polyacrylamide positioned against the published FO 4650 grade profile. Grade descriptors follow different in-house scales, so verify on your sludge with a CST or jar test.
Which applications do you supply this grade into most?
Municipal sludge dewatering on belt presses and centrifuges, waste activated sludge thickening, DAF sludge, and food and beverage industrial sludge. Palm oil mill effluent is a common duty in our Southeast Asian accounts.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes. We ship a free 5 kg trial quantity with a test protocol so you can compare cake solids and filtrate quality against your current polymer.
