Polyacrylamide is a water-soluble polymer that has become the backbone of modern water treatment. It acts as an excellent flocculant, binding particles together to ensure clarification. But not all polyacrylamide is the same. Feymer’s focused on creating high-performing variants that address specific industry challenges. In the textile sector, PAM chemically removes dyes and organic loading, making reclaimed water suitable for reuse. The anionic versions favor mineral processing for coal tailings and metal recovery, increasing valuable mineral yield. In the pulp and paper industry, nonionic PAM strengthens dry strength and retention. Municipalities achieve efficient sludge volume reduction, ultimately lowering disposal costs. At sea, ships use PAM to manage ballast water, preventing invasive species spread. Even in construction, PAM reduces sediment runoff and improves soil flocculation.
