The development of polyacrylamide in China
September 25, 2024
The development of polyacrylamide in China has a history of several decades, in these decades, polyacrylamide China has made considerable development, China has become the world's largest production and sales of polyacrylamide countries.
Water Treatment Chemicals, Polyaluminum Chloride, China now produces and sells twice as much polyacrylamide as the United States and four times as much as Japan. Polyacrylamide in China is mainly anionic, and the anionic polyacrylamide produced in China is 75% of the total output. The cations produced accounted for about 23% of the total production of polyacrylamide, and the non-ionic polyacrylamide production accounted for about 2% of the total production. In the United States is mainly based on cationic polyacrylamide, cationic production accounts for 85%, anionic polyacrylamide accounts for 15%, in the United States cationic polyacrylamide is mainly used in water treatment or paper. China is mainly based on anionic polyacrylamide because China's anionic polyacrylamide is mainly used in the petroleum industry, mainly in secondary or tertiary oil recovery. China's water treatment development is relatively late, the development is also relatively slow, so the development of cationic polyacrylamide in China is also relatively slow.
After decades of development in China, polyacrylamide has made great breakthroughs in some fields, and some fields are in a leading position. However, polyacrylamide produced in China is mainly in the middle and low end, which is also related to the historical stage in China now, but the polyacrylamide produced in China has been able to meet the actual needs of China, and the products have been exported to some developing countries, with the country's attention to environmental protection, water treatment will be in a period of rapid development in the future. There will be more needs and higher requirements for the output and quality of cationic polyacrylamide. Some enterprises are preparing for opportunities and new challenges.
Compared with similar enterprises in China and foreign countries, China's production is in a leading position, accounting for 40% of global production, and there is a certain gap between foreign countries in some technical aspects, mainly in automated production and distance, China's enterprises are not large, poor ability to resist risks.
