  • How much Acrylamide is produced in Europe?
  • Total EU production of acrylamide is estimated at between 80,000-100,000 tonnes. Acrylamide is usually made as a 30-50% aqueous solution although a crystalline form is produced at one European production plant. Small amounts of acrylamide powder are imported into the EU for production of polyacrylamides.
  • What is the global polyacrylamide market size?
  • The global polyacrylamide market size was valued at USD 4.5 billion in 2018 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2019 to 2025 . In volume, this represents an output of about 2.5 million tons. Polyacrylamide, or PAM, is made from the acrylamide monomer.
  • Where is acrylamide made?
  • Acrylamide is usually made as a 30-50% aqueous solution although a crystalline form is produced at one European production plant. Small amounts of acrylamide powder are imported into the EU for production of polyacrylamides. Acrylamide is also exported outside the EU but the majority of EU acrylamide production is used within the EU.
  • What are acrylamide and polyacrylamide used for?
  • Acrylamide and polyacrylamide (PAM) are used in diverse industrial processes, mainly the production of plastics, dyes, and paper, in the treatment of drinking water, wastewater, and sewage. Besides inorganic form, acrylamide is formed naturally in certain starchy foods that were heated to cook a temperature above 120 °C for elongated time.
