Akrilamid (Acrylamide)
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Akrilamid is a highly reactive Technical Grade monomer used primarily in the synthesis of polyacrylamides (PAM). It is characterized by its high water solubility and ability to undergo rapid radical polymerization.
The compound serves as a critical building block for flocculants and thickeners used in complex industrial separations. It is strictly controlled for residual monomer levels to ensure the safety of downstream polymer applications.
In its pure form, it appears as a white crystalline solid that is highly sensitive to light and heat. It is a vital process chemical for enhancing the physical properties of paper, textiles, and construction materials.
APPLICATIONS
- Flocculant Synthesis: Production of water-soluble polymers for municipal and industrial wastewater clarification.
- Paper Manufacturing: Used as a dry-strength agent and retention aid to improve fiber bonding and drainage.
- Enhanced Oil Recovery: Precursor for viscosity modifiers used in polymer flooding for secondary oil extraction.
SAFETY & RISKS
Classified as a Carcinogen (Category 1B) and Mutagen (Category 1B). Highly toxic; handle strictly with Nitrile Gloves, Full-Face Shield, and Local Exhaust Ventilation.
PACKAGING
