FLOPAM FO 4690 Equivalent: Confirm SSH Before Cationic PAM Selection
ChinaPAM supplies cationic PAM powder and can quote against a FLOPAM FO 4690 enquiry. The held SNF 2007 catalogue carries an attribute row for FO 4690 SSH only, so the suffix on your label decides which published row applies. Contact us to discuss pricing, sample arrangements and applicable product documents.

Key Features
- Cationic PAM powder selection and quotation against a confirmed FO 4690 SSH label
- SNF publishes FO 4690 SSH on page 6 at Very High charge and Very High MW on its own scale
- Published Brookfield row 720/350/160 cps at 5/2.5/1 g/L with a 3 g/L / 5 g/L / 90-minute make-up line
- No row for bare FO 4690 or FO 4690 SH in the held source, so no data is carried across to those labels
- Our preparation parameters are stated separately from the SNF figures
- Contact us to discuss pricing, sample arrangements and applicable product documents.
Applications
- Confirming whether your label reads FO 4690 SSH or another suffix before a route is quoted
- Checking whether your make-up and dosing system suits our 1–3 g/L preparation window
- Preparing a same-material sample comparison against the grade you currently run
- Assembling the information needed for a quotation and for review of applicable product documents

One Sourced Row, and Where the Source Stops
The held source for this page is SNF SAS Catalogue 2007 Poudres. On page 6 it prints FLOPAM FO 4690 SSH, described on SNF’s own scale as Very High charge and Very High molecular weight, with Brookfield readings of 720 cps at 5 g/L, 350 cps at 2.5 g/L and 160 cps at 1 g/L, and a make-up line of 3 g/L recommended, 5 g/L maximum, 90 minutes. Those are 2007 figures given for information, not a current specification, and we make no claim about what SNF supplies today.
What the catalogue does not print is an attribute row for a bare FO 4690 or for FO 4690 SH. We are stating that plainly because the alternative — quietly reusing the SSH numbers under a different label — would put figures on this page that the source does not support for that label. The honest position is narrower and more useful: for SSH we can show you exactly what the catalogue prints, and for any other suffix we need to see the label before we describe anything.
How We Answer a FO 4690 Enquiry
We supply cationic PAM powder and we can quote against a confirmed FO 4690 SSH label. On our current public master, two grades carry the top band pair: C8055 and C8006 are both published at Very High charge and Very High molecular weight on our own scale. Because their public bands are identical, the public bands alone cannot pre-select which of the two performs better on your duty, and we will not manufacture a distinction between them that the master does not print. Review of your enquiry sets the starting grade and a comparison on your own material settles the quotation route.
Those are our band names on our own scale. The Very High descriptors in the SNF row belong to SNF’s scale. Both sets of bands are wide, and they are not one scale — a shared pair of words on the two sides is not an equivalence and we do not convert between them.
That is a narrower promise than a code-to-code table, and it is the one we can stand behind. It does not slow a quotation down: send the label, the quantity and the destination, and we can discuss pricing, discuss sample options and tell you which product documents apply to the grade quoted. The two things that stay open are whether the 2007 figures still describe the FLOPAM grade you buy today, which only a current SNF document settles, and how our powder behaves on your material, which only a comparison on that material settles.
Preparation Figures Are Not Transferable Between the Two Products
The SNF make-up line on this page — 3 g/L recommended, 5 g/L maximum, 90 minutes — belongs to FO 4690 SSH. Our preparation parameters are separate: 1–3 g/L recommended, 5 g/L maximum, dissolution within 60 minutes at working concentration.
The distinction matters when a sample is compared against an incumbent. Making up our powder at a concentration read from the competitor row changes the dissolved polymer mass per litre, so a dose that appears equal by solution volume is not equal by active polymer. Prepare each product at its own stated concentration, compare on the basis of active polymer, and the result means something. If your make-up system cannot run at 1–3 g/L, say so at the enquiry stage — that is a constraint worth surfacing before a sample plan is agreed.
Dosage Guide
Establish the working dose on your own material rather than transferring it from a table. Your current FO 4690 active dose rate is the useful starting reference. Prepare our powder at 1–3 g/L, maximum 5 g/L, with dissolution within 60 minutes at working concentration. The SNF make-up figures quoted on this page (3 g/L recommended, 5 g/L maximum, 90 minutes) are historical indicative values published for FO 4690 SSH and are not our preparation parameters.
Frequently Asked Questions — FLOPAM FO 4690 Equivalent: Confirm SSH Before Cationic PAM Selection
Can you quote a cationic PAM powder for a FLOPAM FO 4690 enquiry?
Yes. ChinaPAM supplies cationic PAM powder and can quote against FO 4690 duty. Send the label or the complete grade string. If it reads FO 4690 SSH, that is the suffix documented in the source we hold. If it reads something else, we can still quote — we simply will not present the SSH figures as though they described your grade.
What do you need from me to prepare a quotation?
The complete grade string from the label, the quantity and destination, and your current make-up concentration if you have it. A photo of the bag label is the fastest route, because the suffix is the piece of information that decides which published row applies and we would otherwise be guessing at it.
Why can’t you use the SSH figures for a bare FO 4690 bag?
Because the held 2007 catalogue does not print an attribute row for a bare FO 4690 or for FO 4690 SH. We only have a row for SSH. Applying the SSH figures to a differently labelled bag would mean presenting numbers we cannot source for that label. The absence of a row is a limit on our source, not a claim that the grade does not exist — send the label and we will work from what it says.
Do you claim your grade is the same product as FO 4690 SSH?
No. We will not describe any grade of ours as exact, identical or a drop-in for FO 4690 SSH, and FLOPAM is SNF’s trademark. We supply cationic PAM powder, we can quote against a confirmed label, and the fit is settled by comparison on your own material.
What does a sample plan verify?
It settles what the published bands cannot. Our public master describes cationic powders by qualitative bands only, and more than one of our grades sits on the highest band pair, so the bands alone do not tell us which grade suits your material. Prepare our powder at 1–3 g/L rather than the SNF figures on this page, dose on the basis of active polymer, compare against the grade you currently run on the same material at several dose rates, and send us the results to review before any changeover.
