Synthetic
Polymers
JLK
markets two major types of synthetic polymers, Polyacrylamides
and Polyacrylates.
Chemical
Properties
Polyacrylamides
are long chain polymers modified via synthesis to yield cationic,
anionic and non-ionic polymers. The molecular weight of polyacrylamides
range from about 1 million to over 5 million. These products are
supplied as dry powders, emulsions and solutions (if the viscosity
permits).
Polyacrylates
are shorter chained polymers derived from acrylic acid. These
products are normally anionically charged. The molecular weight
of polyacrylates range from about 2000 to 10000. Polyacrylates
have excellent colloidal thermal stability and perform effectively
over a wide pH range. Thermogravimetric analysis of these polymers
shows no degradation up to 300°C.
Applications
Polyacrylamides
Polyacrylamides
are used in numerous industrial applications, including, but not
limited to, these applications:
- Erosion
Control
- Paper
Mills & Paper Making
- Secondary
Fiber Recovery
- Industrial
Waste Water
- Municipal
Waste Water
- Industrial
Laundries
- Food
Processing
- Metal
Plating and Finishing
- Dairy
Plants
- Meat
Packing
Polyacrylates
Polyacrylates
are used in many industries primarily for their dispersing and
antiscaling properties. Major industrial uses include:
- Pigment
and Clay Slurries
- Boiler
and Cooling Water Treatment
- Household
and Industrial Cleaners (Builders)
- Dishwash
and Laundry Detergents (Phosphate replacements)
