Acrylamide

Formula: CH2=CHC(O)NH2 GOST/CAS: CAS: 79-06-1

Acrylamide is an organic compound that appears as a white, odorless crystalline substance. It is highly soluble in water, ethanol, and other polar solvents. As a highly reactive monomer, acrylamide easily polymerizes to form polyacrylamide. The primary industrial purpose of this product is its use as a fundamental raw material for the synthesis of water-soluble polymers and copolymers, which are widely utilized in environmental, industrial, and technological processes.

Applications

Water Treatment & Environment: Production of high-efficiency flocculants and coagulants for purifying drinking, industrial, and wastewater.
Oil & Gas Production: Synthesis of polyacrylamides used in drilling fluids, hydraulic fracturing, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR).
Pulp & Paper Industry: Used as a binding agent for fiber retention and to increase the dry strength of paper products.
Polymer Manufacturing: A base monomer for obtaining a wide range of polyacrylamides, gels, and thickeners for the textile and chemical sectors.

Key Advantages

High Reactivity: Readily enters into polymerization and copolymerization reactions, allowing for the creation of polymers with precisely defined properties.
Excellent Solubility: Perfectly soluble in water, which is critical for the synthesis of water-soluble polymers and efficient technological processing.
Raw Material Versatility: Serves as an indispensable "building block" for products operating across a wide range of pH levels and temperatures.
High Purity: Industrial-grade quality (≥98%) ensures the stability of polymerization reactions and the absence of unwanted by-products.

Storage & Transportation

  • Store in dry, cool, and well-ventilated warehouses in original packaging, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Storage temperature should not exceed 25–30 °C.
  • Avoid contact with strong oxidizers, acids, alkalis, as well as iron and copper salts to prevent spontaneous polymerization.
  • Transportable by all types of covered transport in accordance with the regulations for the carriage of dangerous goods (the substance is toxic; strict use of PPE is required during handling).
