Authoritative Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS/SDS), Comprehensive Regulatory Compliance, and High-Performance APAM, CPAM, and NPAM Solutions from Qingdao Oubo Chemical Co., Ltd.
Explore our top-tier certified polyacrylamide formulations backed by rigorous Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), high intrinsic viscosity, and precise molecular weight control.
Established in 2011 within the Free Trade Zone of Qingdao, China, Qingdao Oubo Chemical Co., Ltd. (O'brien) has grown at a steady 10% annual rate to become a premier global manufacturer of synthetic polyacrylamide polymers.
Annual polyacrylamide production capacity surpassed 50,000 Metric Tons in 2018. Fully certified under ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System, guaranteeing robust batch-to-batch consistency and technical traceability.
We utilize advanced biological enzymatic methods for monomer acrylamide production (with patent applications filed). We invest over €200 million annually in R&D to continuously lower energy consumption and control residual monomers.
Raw materials are strategically sourced from tier-one international partners including SINOPEC and Eni. Automated production lines conduct triple QC testing per batch prior to worldwide dispatch from Qingdao Port.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) or Safety Data Sheets (SDS) compliant with GHS, OSHA HCS 2012, and EU Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH) are critical for industrial procurement, environmental compliance, and safe handling.
Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a high-molecular-weight polymer (-[CH2-CH(CONH2)]n-) synthesized from acrylamide monomers. While the polymerized macromolecule is non-toxic and environmentally stable under recommended use conditions, safety evaluation heavily focuses on residual monomer limits, dust inhalation, and slip hazards during aqueous solution preparation.

Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 (Rat) > 5,000 mg/kg for fully polymerized PAM powder. Dermal LD50 (Rabbit) > 10,000 mg/kg.
Ecotoxicity: Non-toxic to aquatic organisms at operational standard dosages. LC50 (96h, Danio rerio) > 100 mg/L for APAM. Note: High charge CPAM requires precise dosing control to mitigate fish gill irritation in open surface water bodies.
Biodegradability: Polymer chains undergo slow physical and biological shear breakdown into carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen oxides without bioaccumulation.
Slip Hazard: Polyacrylamide solutions possess an exceptionally low friction coefficient. Spills exposed to moisture create extreme slipping conditions. Mitigation: Dry vacuum or absorb with sand before water flushing.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear safety glasses with side shields, dust masks (N95/FFP2) during bulk dry powder transfer, and standard chemical-resistant nitrile gloves.
Storage Conditions: Store in sealed original packaging in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse below 35°C to avoid moisture absorption and caking.
Polyacrylamide functions as a primary flocculant, coagulant aid, rheology modifier, friction reducer, and binding agent across diverse global sectors.
Primary Function: Neutralizes negatively charged organic colloids to form heavy flocs.
Key Applications: Municipal sludge dewatering (belt filter press, centrifuge, screw press), organic wastewater treatment (dyeing, textile, tanning, slaughterhouse, beer brewing), and wet-end paper retention aids.
Primary Function: Bridging flocculation with high tensile polymer chains for inorganic solids.
Key Applications: Mineral processing (coal washing, gold/copper tailings, alumina red mud), sand washing sedimentation, industrial water clarification, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), and paper strength additives.
Primary Function: Hydrogen bonding mechanism effective under low pH / acidic environments.
Key Applications: Acidic industrial effluent sedimentation, soil stabilization, agricultural water retention, sugar juice clarification, and specialized textile warp sizing agents.
In municipal and industrial solid-liquid separation, Polyacrylamide rapidly aggregates suspended solids into tight micro-flocs through charge neutralization and polymer bridging. This significantly accelerates sedimentation velocity in primary clarifiers and maximizes cake dryness during belt filter press, screw press, or decanter centrifuge sludge dewatering.
Oubo Polyacrylamide plays a quad-action role in paper chemistry:
In upstream petroleum engineering, high molecular weight APAM serves as a critical mobility control agent for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), slickwater friction reducer for hydraulic fracturing, and fluid loss reducer for drilling muds. In mining, our polymers enable high-throughput coal tailings dewatering and solid-liquid separation for gold, copper, alumina, and iron ore extraction.
In sugarcane and sugar beet juice clarification, food-grade APAM ensures rapid sediment precipitation without leaving toxic residues. In textile production, PAM functions as a high-efficiency warp sizing binder to reduce yarn breakage and act as a decolorizing flocculant in dye effluent treatment.
