Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What industries benefit most from Polyacrylamide?
Industries such as water treatment, oil & gas, mining, and papermaking rely heavily on PAM for efficient separation and processing.
2. How do I select the right PAM grade?
The correct type depends on wastewater composition, pH level, and treatment goals. Testing is recommended for best results.
3. What is the shelf life of PAM?
Typically up to 24 months when stored under proper conditions.
4. Can PAM be used in drinking water treatment?
Yes, when compliant grades are used and dosage is properly controlled.
5. Why is my PAM solution forming lumps?
This usually happens when PAM is added too quickly. Always add slowly with continuous stirring.
6. Is technical support available?
Yes, we provide application guidance, product selection support, and testing recommendations.
