Superfloc N-1986 Alternative Supply — Duty-Specific Nonionic PAM Screening
ChinaPAM accepts a confirmed Superfloc N-1986 requirement and can quote a duty-specific laboratory selection plan. We begin with 1003 nonionic powder, while Kemira’s retained records identify N-1986 as a high-molecular-weight nonionic emulsion. We prepare the two forms separately, normalize active polymer and compare the actual separation duty before recommending a route. Any NSF requirement is checked separately because the observed listing belongs to Kemira Superfloc N-1986, not to ChinaPAM or 1003.
Supply Route Comparison
Published reference data and the ChinaPAM route for Superfloc N-1986
SUPERFLOC is a trademark of Kemira and/or its affiliates. ChinaPAM is independent of Kemira. Superfloc N-1986 is named only to identify the incumbent product a buyer is evaluating. Incumbent facts come from retained Kemira technical and safety records; the observed NSF listing names Kemira Water Solutions and exact Superfloc N-1986. It does not certify ChinaPAM or grade 1003. Our products are separately branded ChinaPAM grades and are not licensed copies.

Get a Quote for Superfloc N-1986 Alternative Supply
Send the complete N-1986 label, separation duty, incumbent dose, current solution preparation and any NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 requirement. ChinaPAM will return a bounded test plan and quotation path.
1. Supply answer: ChinaPAM can evaluate an N-1986 changeover
ChinaPAM accepts the exact N-1986 enquiry and begins with a 1003 powder trial plan. We do not require the buyer to decide the final grade before the process is reviewed.
The commercial answer is firm but bounded: we can quote the selection route now; the final grade and dose follow the duty-specific test.
2. Confirm both the full label and the separation duty
Lock Superfloc N-1986 from the label or current document. Other Superfloc N-series models have their own evidence and are not aliases for this product.
Then identify the duty. The retained Kemira sheet lists multiple uses, so a dewatering route should not be selected from a clarification target, and filtration should not inherit a DAF acceptance metric.
3. N-1986 facts with issuer and date boundaries
These fields describe the Kemira incumbent. They do not describe 1003 and do not establish current Kemira commercial terms.
| Established field | Source context | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Nonionic polyacrylamide emulsion; opaque liquid; no charge; high relative molecular weight | Kemira de México technical sheet; printed date unknown, PDF metadata 2010 | Incumbent identity only |
| Mechanical dewatering, DAF, gravity settling, coagulant aid, clarification, phosphorus control, filtration and viscosity modification | Applications section of the retained Kemira sheet | Duty list, not guaranteed performance |
| Low-speed mixing/recirculation, 0.5% working solution, stock up to 2%, 30 min ageing, at least 10:1 secondary dilution and no centrifugal transfer pump | Preparation section of the retained Kemira sheet | Emulsion procedure; not powder instructions |
| 2009 MSDS identifies a water-in-oil PAM emulsion | Kemira Kemi AB MSDS revised 2009-10-13 | Historical safety-document identity |
| Observed NSF listing names Kemira Water Solutions and exact Superfloc N-1986 for its stated facility/use conditions | Scoped current NSF listing observation | Cannot be transferred to ChinaPAM or 1003 |
4. The ChinaPAM route is a powder conversion study
1003 is the sole nonionic entry in the current ChinaPAM grade table and is therefore the starting candidate. It is a low-MW powder, whereas the incumbent is a high-MW emulsion.
Those differences can affect hydration, transfer, dose response, floc build and solution handling. Suitability is decided by the buyer’s metrics, not by shared nonionic chemistry alone.
5. Build the test around the actual duty
Provide feed solids or turbidity, pH, temperature, target metric, incumbent product dose, current working and stock solution practice, mixer, pump and dose point.
If certification matters, state the standard and end use at intake. ChinaPAM checks the quoted grade’s own current documents rather than borrowing the incumbent listing.
6. Reproduce the incumbent baseline without copying it to powder
Prepare N-1986 under the buyer’s verified incumbent procedure, using the retained Kemira preparation fields only as a historical reference. Prepare 1003 under its current powder instructions.
Record mixer speed, concentration, ageing, dilution, water quality, pump and solution age. A centrifugal pump warning from the Kemira sheet belongs to the emulsion baseline; it is not automatically a specification for 1003.
7. Normalize active polymer and measure the duty-specific outcome
Run incumbent and candidate on the same representative material. Start at matched active-polymer dose, bracket the dose, and keep mixing and observation time consistent.
For dewatering record cake and filtrate results; for DAF record float and clarified-water quality; for settling record rate and clarity. Retest the leading condition before a plant recommendation.
8. Three errors that can invalidate an N-1986 comparison
The controls below separate preparation, molecular-weight and certification decisions.
| Risk | Consequence | Control |
|---|---|---|
| Emulsion preparation reused for powder | The candidate is incompletely hydrated or compared at the wrong active concentration | Prepare each form by its own verified procedure and normalize active polymer |
| High-to-low MW gap ignored | Shared nonionic chemistry is mistaken for equivalent process response | Use a dose ladder and reject the route if the buyer’s duty metrics are missed |
| Kemira NSF listing transferred to ChinaPAM | A certification is attributed to the wrong company or product | Keep the listing attached to exact N-1986 and review ChinaPAM documents separately |
9. Keep product documents and certification claims separate
Ask for the buyer’s current N-1986 label, TDS, SDS or COA where available. Current buyer documents take precedence for reproducing the incumbent condition.
The ChinaPAM quotation identifies the selected grade and the documents available for that grade. A third-party listing is never restated as a ChinaPAM approval.
10. Close the route with results, then quote the selected grade
A route is accepted only when the complete label, duty, preparation record and same-material results support it. If the candidate misses the target, the result remains a failed route rather than a statement that ChinaPAM cannot serve every related duty.
Current price, availability, lead time, applicable TDS and sample arrangements are confirmed only after the selected route and order requirement are reviewed. Batch-specific COA terms are confirmed with the shipment.
Brand Equivalents & Replacements
ChinaPAM accepts a confirmed N-1986 enquiry and builds a comparison around the buyer’s actual duty: dewatering, DAF, settling, clarification, filtration or another documented use. The route starts with 1003 powder and keeps its form and molecular-weight differences visible. Any certification requirement is reviewed against ChinaPAM’s own current documents; Kemira’s listing is not reused.
| Brand | Grade | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Kemira Superfloc | N-1986 | Retained Kemira records identify N-1986 as a high-MW nonionic emulsion with emulsion-specific preparation. ChinaPAM starts with 1003 nonionic low-MW powder as a laboratory candidate. The observed NSF listing belongs only to Kemira Superfloc N-1986 under its stated listing conditions. |

Frequently Asked Questions — Superfloc N-1986 Alternative Supply — Duty-Specific Nonionic PAM Screening
Can ChinaPAM quote a route for Superfloc N-1986?
Yes. ChinaPAM starts with a duty-specific 1003 powder screening plan after the exact N-1986 label and process are confirmed. The final grade and dose follow a same-material comparison.
Is 1003 the same form and molecular-weight position as N-1986?
No. The retained Kemira records identify N-1986 as a high-MW liquid emulsion, while the current ChinaPAM table identifies 1003 as a low-MW powder. That is why separate preparation and a process trial are required.
Does the Superfloc N-1986 NSF listing also cover ChinaPAM 1003?
No. The observed listing names Kemira Water Solutions and exact Superfloc N-1986 under its stated conditions. Any requirement for a ChinaPAM grade must be checked against that grade’s own current documents.
Which N-1986 preparation details matter most?
The retained Kemira sheet describes low-speed agitation or recirculation, a 0.5% working solution, stock up to 2%, 30 minutes ageing, secondary dilution of at least 10:1 and avoidance of centrifugal transfer pumps. These reproduce the incumbent baseline and are not powder instructions.
What information should accompany the enquiry?
Send the full label, separation duty, feed condition, current dose, preparation and transfer equipment, acceptance target and any certification requirement. Commercial terms are confirmed in the reviewed quotation.
