We offer a complete range of water soluble polymer PAM (polyacrylamide) based
flocculants and coagulants including polyamines and polydadmacs designed to cover all types of water solids separation processes and specialty applications
such as clarification, thickening, flotation, filtration, settling, etc. They are available in emulsion, dry and liquid forms; cationic, anionic and non-ionic charges; and in
the broadest range of molecular weights and charge densities. Note: see
