product description

Acrylamide is an important organic synthetic monomer, which combines chemical reactivity with specific physical properties. At room temperature, it is a white crystalline powder. Pure products are odorless, while industrial products may have a slightly pale yellow or pungent smell due to the presence of trace impurities. Crystals are prone to absorbing moisture and gradually soften or even dissolve after absorbing it.

Product Usage

Acrylamide is a vital organic monomer primarily used in the synthesis of polyacrylamide (PAM), a versatile polymer with extensive industrial utility. Its most significant application is in water treatment, where PAM acts as a high-efficiency flocculant for municipal sewage and industrial wastewater purification. In the petroleum industry, it is a key component for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and as a friction reducer in hydraulic fracturing. In paper manufacturing, acrylamide-based resins serve as retention aids and dry-strength agents to improve paper quality. Furthermore, in biotechnology and clinical labs, high-purity acrylamide is indispensable for preparing polyacrylamide gels used in electrophoresis (PAGE) for the separation of proteins and nucleic acids.
