FrançaisPOLYMER PRODUCTS FOR ALL WATER-RELATED APPLICATIONS
SNF is the world’s largest producer of polyacrylamide (PAM), a water-soluble polymer specifically designed to improve the quality and conservation of water. PAM has a broad variety of industrial and commercial uses as a flocculant, which facilitates the separation of suspended solids from water; as a viscosity modifier, which alters the thickness of liquids; as a drag reducer, which decreases the pressure drop along a segment of pipe; as a superabsorbent, which retains water; and many others. SNF’s PAM-based polymers improve the use and reuse of water in many markets such as:
- Municipal and industrial water treatment (incoming raw water, drinking water, and wastewater)
- Oil and gas exploration and extraction
- Mining and mineral extraction
- Pulp and paper manufacturing
- Agriculture
- Personal care and cosmetic formulations
- Home Care, Industrial & Institutional
- Textiles
- Construction
In addition to PAM, SNF also produces specialty chemicals and equipment that complement the application of PAM or improve water utilization:
- Coagulants (monomer DADMAC, polyDADMAC, Polyamine)
- Dispersants (various homopolymers, copolymers, and terpolymers)
- Mining Products (Xanthates, Dust Control, Defoamers, Modifiers)
- Paper Products (Retention, Drainage, Strength Polymers, Wastewater)
- Monomers (Acrylamide, ADAME/MADAME, AD/MA Quat, ATBS)
- Equipment (polymer storage/makedown/dosage control, EOR injection, PowderFrac™)
