Industry Executive Summary: Modern textile manufacturing requires high-precision chemical auxiliaries to balance yarn tensile strength, fabric tactile quality, and stringent environmental zero-liquid-discharge (ZLD) regulations. Acrylamide (monomer) and its derivative Polyacrylamide (PAM) serve as foundational components across weaving sizes, printing thickeners, fabric finishing agents, and tertiary wastewater flocculation systems.
Acrylamide (CH₂=CH-CONH₂) is a versatile organic monomer produced primarily through the hydration of acrylonitrile. When polymerized, it forms Polyacrylamide (PAM) [CAS 9003-05-8], a water-soluble linear macromolecule whose ionic properties can be customized through copolymerization. At Qingdao Oubo Chemical Co., Ltd. (established in 2011 within the Free Trade Zone of Qingdao, China), our manufacturing facilities utilize advanced bio-catalytic enzymatic technology to polymerize acrylamide. This patented biological route significantly minimizes residual monomer contents and chemical impurities, offering superior polymer chain structural integrity compared to conventional acid-catalyzed chemical polymerization.
Depending on functional group modifications, textile-grade Polyacrylamide is categorized into four distinct chemical configurations:
Within textile supply chains and processing mills, Acrylamide-based formulations perform critical roles at multiple processing stages:
Polyacrylamide acts as a synthetic sizing agent replacing or supplementing traditional starches. Its uniform molecular weight distribution forms a smooth, high-elasticity protective film on yarn surfaces. This drastically reduces hairiness, minimizes end-breaks on modern high-speed air-jet looms, and easily desizes in hot water wash baths.
High-viscosity Nonionic and Anionic PAM polymers serve as synthetic thickeners in pigment and reactive printing. They provide precise pseudo-plastic rheology, maintaining print sharpness, sharp pattern outline contours, color yield optimization, and soft fabric hand-feel without structural bleed.
Modified acrylamide derivatives serve as crease-resist finishing agents, antistatic chemicals, and fabric modifiers. They bond covalently or ionically with cellulose and synthetic fibers, enhancing dye uptake uniformity while improving dimensional fabric stability.
To assist global textile chemical buyers, technical directors, and procurement engineers in selecting the optimal polymer specification, the following data matrix outlines standard engineering parameters:
| Polymer Class | Ionicity Range (%) | Molecular Weight (Million Da) | Solid Content (%) | Primary Textile Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anionic PAM (APAM) | 10% – 60% | 8.0 – 22.0 | ≥ 88% (Powder) | Warp Sizing, Printing Thickener, Primary Effluent Coagulation |
| Cationic PAM (CPAM) | 5% – 80% | 5.0 – 12.0 | ≥ 88% (Powder) | Dyeing Effluent Dewatering, Color Removal, Sludge Filter Pressing |
| Nonionic PAM (NPAM) | 0% – 5% | 6.0 – 15.0 | ≥ 88% (Powder) | Acidic Wastewater Dewatering, Soft Finishing Formulations |

Certified under ISO 9001:2008 standards, every production batch undergoes 3 separate laboratory tests before release: raw monomer concentration validation, viscosity spectrum analysis, and residual monomer liquid chromatography testing. We guarantee standard compliance across every order.
Located directly within the Qingdao Free Trade Zone, Oubo Chemical commands immediate access to Qingdao Port—one of the largest deep-water shipping hubs globally. This provides international textile clients with reduced freight lead times, preferential customs clearance, and resilient supply chain security.
From textile finishing to secondary oil recovery and municipal effluent purification, Oubo chemical solutions drive efficiency across sectors.
Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a synthetic resin prepared by polymerizing acrylamide. It is a white, solid, water-soluble polymer of acrylamide, mostly used as a flocculant, coagulant, and filtration aid in a whole range of applications that are determined by its physical form and its ionic type (nonionic, anionic, cationic, and Mannich). It is utilized in secondary oil recovery, as a thickening agent, a flocculant, and an absorbent. Moreover, polyacrylamide is also employed to separate macromolecules of different molecular weights.
