  • How many polyacrylamide production facilities does SNF Australia have?
  • We operate 21 production facilities, including 7 global integrated sites, across Europe, Australasia, and the Americas, which account for almost half of the world’s polyacrylamide production. SNF Australia is the market leader in polymer technology and application in Oceania for water and wastewater treatment.
  • 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.
  • Why does acrylamide remain in water after treatment with polyacrylamide?
  • Environmental contamination may result from disposal on land or from leaching of the residual monomer (acrylamide) from polyacrylamide. Acrylamide remains in water after water treatment with polyacrylamides and through the use of grouting agents, because it is very water-soluble and is not readily absorbed by sediment / solids.
  • Are polyacrylamide flocculants contaminated drinking water?
  • Otherwise, the general public may be exposed to contaminated drinking water from residual monomer in polyacrylamide flocculants used in water treatment. The current Australian Drinking Water Guideline for Acrylamide is 0.0002 mg/L (0.2 μg/L).
