Akrilamid (Acrylamide) (CAS 79-06-1) is a highly reactive, water-soluble amide monomer supplied in Technical Grade as a white crystalline powder that polymerizes readily and serves as the principal building block for polyacrylamides used as flocculants, paper strength agents and oilfield viscosity modifiers. 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.
