FLORET FO 4000 PG Series Equivalent — Cationic PAM Powder Screening for PG0 to PG3 Grades
ChinaPAM supplies cationic polyacrylamide powder for FLORET FO 4000 PG requirements. Send the exact FO number with its PG0, PG1, PG2, PG3 or PG suffix, quantity and destination and we will name the ChinaPAM screening grade, quote current pricing and plan a furnish evaluation. In this family the suffix, not the base number, sets the molecular-weight tier and the make-up limits.

FO 4000 PG Grade Selector: Fourteen Columns, Read by Suffix
Find the exact FO number and PG suffix on your label, then start from the lane on that row. ChinaPAM has no low-charge cationic row at very high or standard molecular weight, so each lane pairs a charge-led start with a chain-length bracket and the furnish evaluation decides. The two qualitative scales do not convert numerically.

Three FO 4000 PG Facts Buyers Can Trace
Tiers: SNF maps PG0, PG1, PG2 and PG3 to Very High, High, Standard and Medium molecular weight, all cationic powder listed for paper retention. FO 4248 PG sits in the PG2 table at standard molecular weight with a lower bulk density of 0.69.
Dissolution follows the tier: 120 minutes for PG0, 90 minutes for PG1 and 60 minutes for PG2, PG3 and FO 4248 PG.
Make-up limits follow the tier too: PG0 lists 3 g/L recommended and 5 g/L maximum, while most PG1 to PG3 columns list 4 or 5 g/L recommended and 10 g/L maximum. SNF gives viscosities as average indicative values and notes that a viscosity ten times lower can be used when choosing preparation and dosing equipment.
Two Failure Modes to Check Before Bulk Supply
Both come from reading the base number and skipping the tier.
| Failure mode | Trigger | Symptom | Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base number quoted alone | FO 4190 or FO 4240 is ordered without PG0, PG1, PG2 or PG3 | Grade from a different molecular-weight tier and preparation window arrives on site | Quote from the full label, and record the tier on the purchase order and COA request |
| PG0 prepared on a 10 g/L set-up | A make-up unit sized for 10 g/L is used for a PG0 position listed at 5 g/L maximum | The make-up runs outside the condition the incumbent grade was listed for | Validate the preparation route on the ChinaPAM grade at your actual concentration before use |
Documented Furnish Evaluation Plan
Prepare the incumbent PG grade and the ChinaPAM shortlist at the same concentration, inside the limits of the exact tier, and time dissolution. Record solution viscosity and solution age before dosing.
Evaluate on your own furnish and system chemistry with stepped doses, recording the retention and drainage measures your mill already uses. The result is documented before any machine trial is scheduled; ChinaPAM does not claim retention performance in advance.
What to Send for a Quotation
The exact FO number, PG suffix and quantity are enough to start pricing. These details sharpen the evaluation:
| Input | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| FO number with PG0, PG1, PG2, PG3 or PG suffix | Sets the tier, dissolution time and make-up limit |
| Paper grade, furnish and addition point | Defines the evaluation conditions |
| Make-up concentration and preparation unit | Checks the route against the tier limit, especially PG0 |
| Compliance documents your mill requires | Reviewed before the quotation is finalised |
| 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 PG dose and addition point. Prepare the ChinaPAM grade at the same working concentration within the tier limit, allow full dissolution, and compare stepped doses on your own furnish. Schedule any machine trial only after the documented evaluation.
Frequently Asked Questions — FLORET FO 4000 PG Series Equivalent — Cationic PAM Powder Screening for PG0 to PG3 Grades
Can ChinaPAM supply for a FLORET FO 4000 PG requirement?
Yes, as cationic polyacrylamide powder. Send the full FO number with its PG suffix, quantity and destination and we will name the screening grade, quote current pricing and arrange a furnish evaluation plan.
FO 4190 appears as PG0, PG1, PG2 and PG3. Does the suffix matter?
Yes. The same base number sits in four molecular-weight tiers with different dissolution times and make-up limits: 120 minutes and 5 g/L maximum for PG0, 90 minutes for PG1, 60 minutes for PG2 and PG3. Quote and test against the full suffix.
Can I prepare a PG0 replacement at 10 g/L like other grades?
SNF lists PG0 at 3 g/L recommended and 5 g/L maximum. If your current set-up runs at 10 g/L, tell us, and the preparation route is validated on the ChinaPAM grade at your real concentration before it is used.
Will the ChinaPAM grade deliver the same retention on my machine?
ChinaPAM does not claim paper-retention performance or paper-contact certification. The grade is selected by charge band and confirmed by a documented evaluation on your own furnish before any machine trial.
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. If your mill needs specific compliance documents, list them in the enquiry so they are reviewed before the quotation is finalised.
