What Does HPAM Stand For?

HPAM stands for Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide

HPAM, or Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide, is a water-soluble polymer widely used in various industrial applications. It is derived from polyacrylamide through hydrolysis, which partially breaks down the polymer chain, enhancing its properties. HPAM is commonly utilized in industries such as oil and gas for enhanced oil recovery, wastewater treatment for flocculation and sedimentation, and agriculture for soil conditioning and moisture retention. Its ability to improve viscosity and promote the formation of gels makes it a valuable component in numerous formulations.
