Polyacrylamide
Polyacrylamide (abbreviated as PAM) is a polymer with the formula (-CH2CHCONH2-). It has a linear-chain structure. PAM is highly water-absorbent, forming a soft gel when hydrated. In 2008, an estimated 750,000,000 kg were produced, mainly for
SNF intends to expand capacity for emulsion-grade polyacrylamide, which is used in hydraulic drilling, in the United States by 100,000 tons per year by the end of 2025. In June 2025, Solenis, a US-based manufacturer of specialty chemicals for

- What is polyacrylamide (PAM) used for?
- npj Clean Water 1, Article number: 17 ( 2018 ) Cite this article High molecular weight (10 6 –3 × 10 7 Da) polyacrylamide (PAM) is commonly used as a flocculant in water and wastewater treatment, as a soil conditioner, and as a viscosity modifier and friction reducer in both enhanced oil recovery and high volume hydraulic fracturing.
- Can polyacrylamide improve hydrocarbon production efficiency?
- npj Materials Sustainability 2, Article number: 15 (2025) Cite this article Polyacrylamide (PAM) and its derivatives play a pivotal role in various facets of hydrocarbon development. Proper application and treatment of PAM have the potential to enhance hydrocarbon production efficiency while mitigating adverse environmental effects.
- Which polymer is used to produce partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM)?
- PAM is used to produce partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM), which is linear, anionic, water-soluble, stable, polymeric, and high molecular weight chain of acrylamide (C 3 H 5 NO) monomers (Bao et al., 2010; Braun et al., 2025; Liu et al., 2016; Xiong et al., 2018 ).
- Which polyacrylamide variant has the highest flocculation efficiencies?
- Polyacrylamide variants 71,305 and 71,303 possessing low to medium charge densities and medium to high molecular weights offered the highest flocculation efficiencies of 85.3% and 89.9% at the lowest flocculant doses 3 mg/L and 4 mg/L, respectively.
