Anionic Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a powerful thickener. The higher the molecular weight, the better the thickening effect. High-molecular PAM (18–25 million) is widely used in many industries. Its main function is to absorb water and increase solution viscosity, giving a smooth and stretchy texture.
Common Types of Anionic PAM Thickeners
✅ Granular Type – Larger particles, slower to dissolve. Suitable for special industry needs.
✅ Powder Type – Fast-dissolving. Ideal for industries needing quick results.
💡 Recommended dosage: 0.05%–0.3% (Adjust based on your specific needs).
Application Fields
🔹 Drilling Industry Used in oil drilling and exploration. Helps with lubrication, settling of solids, and wall protection.
🔹 Construction Industry Used in glue (901/801), coatings, putty powder, mortar, and concrete. Increases viscosity, water retention, and workability.
🔹 Incense Making Improves stickiness and bonding strength. Helps make stronger, better-quality incense.
Summary
Anionic PAM thickeners offer excellent thickening, bonding, and water-retention properties. With the right molecular weight and dosage, they can greatly improve performance across many industries.
