Nonionic Polyacrylamide (NPAM) — VIT Series
CAS Number: 9003-05-8
Nonionic polyacrylamide (NPAM) VIT Series are medium-to-high molecular weight flocculants manufactured by homopolymerisation of acrylamide with minimal hydrolysis (HD 2–7 mol%). The near-zero ionic charge makes NPAM effective in strongly acidic or high-electrolyte environments where anionic or cationic flocculants lose performance. Primary markets include mineral processing acidic thickeners, acidic wastewater treatment, soil stabilisation, and papermaking drainage. Solid powder (≥88% active), residual monomer ≤0.05%, MW 5–8 million Da.

Applications
- Mineral processing: acid-leach circuit thickeners and clarifiers
- Acidic wastewater treatment (pH < 5) where ionic flocculants hydrolyse
- Phosphoric acid plant gypsum settling
- Paper and board machine wet-end drainage and retention
- Soil erosion control and slope stabilisation
- Coal washing: fine coal dewatering in acidic slurry circuits
Key Features
- Near-zero ionicity (HD 2–7%) — performs in strong acid and high-salt environments
- 3 grades: VIT-2332 (5M, HD 2%), VIT-2335 (7M, HD 5%), VIT-2337 (8M, HD 7%)
- Broad pH range 2–10 — covers strongly acidic mineral-processing circuits
- Low residual monomer ≤0.05% — compatible with environmental discharge permits
- Complements APAM and CPAM in multi-stage treatment trains
