What causes polyacrylamide (PAM) to smell?

2021-08-05

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is known for its excellent flocculation treatment of sewage and good thickening and water retention effect, but now the market is mixed, there are many inferior products, customers regret because they do not know the quality of the product and find problems after purchase, if some customers find that there is a peculiar smell when using polyacrylamide (PAM), What causes polyacrylamide (PAM) to smell? Is such a product qualified? Will it affect the use effect? The following Henan Laixing Water Purification will answer you in detail.

 

In fact, polyacrylamide (PAM) odors are caused by different polymerization methods and raw materials used in the production process. The polymerization methods of polyacrylamide (PAM) can be divided into homopolymerization method and copolymerization method. The raw materials used in the homopolymerization reaction contain ammonia, so the products produced will have a little ammonia smell, and the degree of odor will vary according to the manufacturer's production equipment, the raw materials used for the production of copolymerization reaction are acrylamide (AM) and sodium acrylate, and the production equipment is advanced, so the products produced have no odor.

Some special industries will have strict requirements for the indicators of polyacrylamide (PAM) products, such as polyacrylamide (PAM) used in incense making. If the product is produced by the homopolymerization method in product selection. Although there is no problem with the quality of incense, there is a big smell, such as mosquito coils, I believe everyone will not buy it, so the choice of polyacrylamide (PAM) is very important. In the case of polyacrylamide (PAM) for coal and sand washing, for example, products produced by any polymerization method can be used because these industries do not have strict requirements for product odor.

Therefore, Henan Laixing Water Purification recommends that when purchasing polyacrylamide (PAM), in addition to checking whether the product has a peculiar smell, they should also carefully check the manufacturer's specific product model and test results to avoid poor use and increased costs.
