Magnafloc 333 / 338 / 345 Equivalent — High MW Anionic Polyacrylamide
Magnafloc 333, 338 and 345 sit in the same part of the Magnafloc anionic range and are specified for the same broad duty: thickener and tailings service in mineral processing and coal preparation. As with Magnafloc 336, the manufacturer literature we can obtain describes these grades qualitatively — high to very high molecular weight anionic flocculant — without publishing a grade-level charge density figure. We are not going to invent one. What we can say is that within the range the numbers step upward in anionicity, which is why one grade on our side answers several of them for most circuits and why the settling test decides, not the number. Our matching product is a high molecular weight anionic polyacrylamide at medium anionic charge on our own scale. Because the two houses do not publish on a common scale, we set the grade from a cylinder settling test on your own pulp and ship a free trial quantity for exactly that purpose.

Dosage Guide
Mineral processing duty is set by cylinder settling test, typically in the 5–30 g/t range on dry solids. Use your current Magnafloc dose as the starting reference and step the rate until supernatant clarity and underflow density both hold.
Frequently Asked Questions — Magnafloc 333 / 338 / 345 Equivalent — High MW Anionic Polyacrylamide
Magnafloc 333, 338, 345 — why does one grade of yours cover all three?
Because within the Magnafloc anionic range those three numbers step upward in anionicity while staying in the same broad service band: high molecular weight anionic flocculant for thickener and tailings duty. For most circuits one grade on our side answers the band, and where a plant sits at the edge of it the settling test decides rather than the grade number.
Do you publish a charge density figure against these grades?
No, because the manufacturer does not publish one at grade level for this part of the range. The literature we can obtain describes them qualitatively. Putting a percentage against them from paper alone would imply a precision neither side has published, so we state our own charge in our own scale and let the trial settle it.
Is this a copy of Magnafloc 333?
No. It is independently manufactured anionic polyacrylamide selected against the published service profile of those grades. It is not a licensed copy and we do not claim a drop-in match. Run a cylinder settling test on your own pulp and compare settling rate, supernatant clarity and underflow density before switching.
Which grade should I test first if I run 338 today?
Start with our high molecular weight medium-charge anionic grade at your current dose rate. Tell us the duty — thickener overflow, tailings, coal fines — and we will nominate from our range and ship a free trial quantity with the settling protocol.
What changes between thickener duty and coal fines duty?
Mainly the charge you want and the shear the floc has to survive. Coal fines recovery usually rewards a higher molecular weight for settling rate, while thickener underflow density can favour a slightly different charge. That is why we ask for the duty before nominating a grade instead of matching the number.
