Polyacrylamide (MW 10,000)

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a water-soluble polymer known for its strong hydrogen bonding interactions and ability to form hydrogels. With a low molecular weight of ~10,000, this PAM variant is particularly suited for applications requiring moderate viscosity and controlled solubility. It is widely used in environmental, biomedical, and industrial applications.
50% solution in water.

Applications:

Water Treatment & Flocculation: Functions as a flocculant for removing suspended particles in wastewater and industrial effluents.
Biomedical Applications: Used in drug delivery systems, controlled-release formulations, and bioadhesive hydrogels.
Oil & Gas Industry: Applied as a thickening agent in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and drilling fluids.
Analytical & Electrophoresis: Serves as a gel matrix in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) for protein and nucleic acid separation.
