Molecular formula: (C3H5NO)n
CAS No.: 9003-05-8
Properties:
Polyacrylamide, abbreviation PAM, is a glassy solid, apt to water absorbing; the speed of absorbing water varies with different derivative ions. It is soluble in water and organic solvents as acetic acid, glycol, glycerin and amine. It will dissolve after long time heating. Dissolving temperature is over 200oC. It carbonates to black powder at 210oC without oxygen.
It could be made to three series, e.g., non-ion, cation, anion.
Usages:
It is an important water-soluble compound with the properties of flocculation, thickening, cut-resisting, block-reducing dispersing, etc.. It is widely used in the field of oil extraction, mining selection, coat washing, metallurgy, chemical, papermaking, sugar refining, pharmaceutical, environment protection, construction materials and agriculture.
