Polyacrylamide is a polymer made of acrylamide or the combination of acrylamide and acrylic acid. Polyacrylamide finds applications mining, mining, agriculture, wastewater treatment, and pulp and paper production. It is widely used as a flocculant in wastewater treatment and sludge dewatering of industrial wastewater, municipal wastewater, potable water treatment, enhanced oil recovery, primary settling, and air flotation. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for polyacrylamide worldwide.

Polyacrylamide (IUPAC poly(2-propenamide) or poly(1-carbamoylethylene), abbreviated as PAM) is a polymer (-CH2CHCONH2-) formed from acrylamide subunits. It belongs to a family of man-made polymer materials consisting of polymers of several alternating and interlocking polymer chains linked together by a combination of solvent-reacted monomers.
