Magnafloc 338 Alternative Supply — Two-Grade Anionic Powder Screening
ChinaPAM supplies a two-grade anionic powder screening route for Magnafloc 338 duty: 1082 first and K62 as the backup. BASF identifies 338 as anionic, moderately high-MW granular powder. Send process data for a trial and quote.
Supply Route Comparison
Published reference data and the ChinaPAM route for BASF Magnafloc 338
Competitor facts come from BASF TI/EVH 0056 s and BASF’s mining-applications chart. The TI has an internal date inconsistency (June 2012 on pages 1/3; June 2011 in the page-2 header), so it is treated as historical BASF information. Vendor descriptor scales are independent.
| Parameter | ChinaPAM Supply Route | BASF Magnafloc 338 |
|---|---|---|
| Chemistry / form | Anionic PAM powder | Anionic polyacrylamide granular powder (BASF TI) |
| MW position | Very High 1082 / High K62 on ChinaPAM scale | Moderately high (BASF TI) |
| Charge position | Low 1082 / Medium K62 on ChinaPAM scale | Low-anionic (BASF mining chart) |
| Preparation | 1–3 g/L; max 5 g/L; ≤60 min | BASF stock 0.25–0.5% max; feed 0.025–0.1% max |
| Selection | Two-grade process test | BASF directs users to application testing / technical assistance |

Why the Correct Route Uses Two Candidates
BASF provides both a molecular-weight description and a low-anionic label, but those words are not a shared numerical scale with ChinaPAM. 1082 follows the low-charge and higher-MW direction; K62 provides the distinct backup. Publishing both as screening candidates preserves the evidence without inventing an exact conversion.
Run both at matched active dose and preparation quality. Select on settling rate, clarified-water quality, compacted-bed height, and floc recovery after controlled shear.
Dosage Guide
BASF reports 2–200 g/t on dry substrate as an application-dependent range for Magnafloc 338. Use the incumbent dose as the center point of the comparison, bracket above and below it, and prepare each ChinaPAM powder at 1–3 g/L, maximum 5 g/L, for up to 60 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions — Magnafloc 338 Alternative Supply — Two-Grade Anionic Powder Screening
What does BASF itself state for Magnafloc 338?
BASF describes it as an anionic polyacrylamide with moderately high molecular weight in loose granular powder form. Its mining chart labels 338 low-anionic powder.
Which ChinaPAM grade should be tested first?
Start with 1082 and include K62 as the backup. The two grades bracket the BASF descriptors on ChinaPAM’s own scale; the process test decides.
Can I copy the BASF preparation figures to the ChinaPAM candidates?
No. Prepare ChinaPAM powder at 1–3 g/L, never above 5 g/L, and allow up to 60 minutes. Keep the incumbent operating dose only as the initial test reference.
Is this a drop-in claim?
No. It is a same-type screening route backed by BASF identity data and ChinaPAM grade data; suitability is confirmed on the buyer’s process.
