Technical Advantages: Engineered for Excellence

1.Superior Flocculation Efficiency

  • Anionic PAM achieves 98% suspended solid removal in coal washing wastewater (Case Study: Shanxi Coal Mine, 2024).

  • Cationic PAM reduces sludge volume by 40% in municipal water treatment plants (API Standard 13B-1 compliant).

2.Extreme Environmental Stability

  • Temperature Resistance: Stable at -10°C to 80°C.

  • Salt Tolerance: Effective in 20% NaCl brine (ideal for offshore oil drilling).

  • pH Compatibility: Functions in pH 1–14 (anionic) and pH 3–10 (cationic).

3.Eco-Friendly Formulation

  • Low residual monomer (<0.05%), compliant with EU REACH and US EPA standards.

  • Biodegradable polymer backbone, reducing environmental footprint in water treatment.

Industry-Specific Solutions

Water Treatment

  • Municipal Sewage: CPAM (Ionic Degree 40%) reduces filter cake moisture to 72% (vs. 85% with conventional flocculants).

  • Industrial Effluent: APAM (MW 16M) treats 1,000 m³/h of textile wastewater with 95% COD removal.

Oil & Gas

  • Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): APAM (Hydrolysis Degree 25%) increases oil production by 18% in high-salinity reservoirs.

  • Drilling Fluids: NPAM stabilizes shale formations, reducing wellbore collapse risk by 35%.

Paper Manufacturing

  • Dry Strength Agent: CPAM improves paper tensile strength by 20% and reduces fiber loss by 15%.

Why Choose Unionchem PAM?

  • Customization: R&D team develops tailored grades (e.g., low-dust, high-temperature resistant) within 5 days.

  • Quality Control: In-house HPLC and Brookfield viscometer ensure batch consistency (CV ≤2%).

  • Logistics Flexibility: 25kg kraft bags or 1MT jumbo bags, 7-day delivery from Qingdao port.

  • Competitive Pricing: Factory-direct costs 10-15% lower than European suppliers (FOB Qingdao: $1.2–2.8/kg for bulk orders).
