Polyacrylamide is a linear-chain polymer that finds diverse applications across downstream industries such as pulp and paper production, textile, agriculture, food processing, mining, and wastewater treatment. It is widely used as a flocculating agent to treat wastewater generated during mining activities. It is also used as a binder and a stabilizer in products such as lotions, creams, moisturizers, skin cleansers, and hair care products. The compound is also employed in various industrial processes, such as ore processing, oil recovery, and construction projects like tunnel, dam, and sewer construction. It is also used in the production of permanent-press fabrics, dyes, and contact lenses. It also finds its use as a soil stabilizer to control soil erosion, improve the stability of the soil, and promote soil permeability. Finally, it is also used as a pulping additive to enhance flexibility and improve the dry as well as wet strength of the paper.

Feedstock for Polyacrylamide

The direct raw materials to produce Polyacrylamide are acrylamide and bis-acrylamide. The fluctuations in the prices of these raw materials can disrupt the supply chain of Polyacrylamide. Demand for acrylamide from the water treatment sector, petroleum production, mineral processing, the paper and pulp manufacturing sector, and the fluctuations in the upstream crude oil and acrylonitrile market influence the prices. Also, other factors, such as plant shutdowns by key manufacturers due to hurricanes, lead to supply constraints and a downward price trend.

Further, the fluctuations in industrial and household activities impact the prices. Also, supply chain disruptions, escalating raw material costs, and heightened freight charges are some of the issues that further disrupt the production and supply of acrylamide. Seasonal factors also play a role, such as the monsoon season, which leads to reduced purchases from the water treatment sector, which further influences the prices.
 

Market Drivers for Polyacrylamide

The market demand for Polyacrylamide is majorly driven by its usage in various downstream industries such as pulp and paper production, textile, agriculture, food processing, mining, and wastewater treatment. Its utilization for flocculation of solids in a liquid in processes such as water treatment, paper making, and screen printing elevates its demand in the water treatment, paper, and pulp industries. Its usage to improve recovery of oil, boosts its market growth in the petroleum industry. Its function as a chemical intermediate in the production of N-Methylol acrylamide and N-butoxyacrylamide fuels its market expansion. Its usage to treat municipal sewage, industrial wastewater, and drinking water purification plants also promotes its market value. Its role as a retention agent to improve paper quality contributes to its demand in the pulp and paper industries.

The industrial polyacrylamide procurement is impacted by the surge and decline in the availability and cost of the major feedstock, mainly acrylamide. Polymerization tanks, heat exchangers, initiator injection systems, irradiation equipment, granulation equipment, drying equipment, sieving and milling equipment, storage tanks, and control systems, are the equipment, machinery, and apparatus required to produce Polyacrylamide. The cost of purchasing the equipment, along with the construction of a manufacturing plant, contributes to the overall capital expenditures (CAPEX). Also, the operational expenditures (OPEX) for producing Polyacrylamide includes the day-to-day costs, such as labor costs, energy costs, and the costs of maintenance and repair of the machinery and equipment.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Polyacrylamide manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Polyacrylamide manufacturing.

• Production via Polymerization: The feedstock utilized in the industrial manufacturing process consists of acrylamide and N, N-methylene- bis-acrylamide.

The manufacturing process of Polyacrylamide initiates with the copolymerization of acrylamide and bis-acrylamide (“bis,” N,N'-methylene-bisacrylamide). The reaction proceeds in the presence of ammonium persulfate and TEMED (tetramethylethylenediamine) as the catalysts. The reaction generates persulfate free radicals that convert acrylamide monomers to free radicals, which react with inactivated monomers to start the polymerization chain reaction. Finally, the polymer chains are randomly crosslinked by bis to form a gel. The porosity of the gel depends on the polymerization conditions and monomer concentrations.
 

Properties of Polyacrylamide

Polyacrylamide (PAMs) ((C3H5NO)n) is a linear-chain polymer-based material that has small amounts of unreacted acrylamide that can be readily crosslinked. It is soluble in water. It is available in many forms, such as powder, powder added to water (wet, as a stock solution), or as an emulsion, gel blocks, or bricks. They are high molecular weight, water-soluble, or swellable polymers. It decomposes at a temperature of 84.5°C, and it has a boiling point of 136°C. The compound has a density of 1.189g/mol. It has a flash point of 138°C, and its autoignition temperature is 240°C.
