How to judge whether polyacrylamide is invalid? How to preserve it better?

Posted on Jul 26.2024

As an organic flocculant, polyacrylamide has obvious advantages in treating sewage, but it also has a certain shelf life. The shelf life of different types of polyacrylamide is also different, and the specific shelf life is related to the concentration. S

How to judge whether polyacrylamide is invalid? 

-Appearance changes:
Check the appearance of the polyacrylamide to see if there are signs of discoloration, caking, or deterioration. If these occur, it may mean that the material has failed.

-Solubility:
Take a small amount of polyacrylamide and add it to water to check its solubility. If it does not completely dissolve or there is precipitation after dissolution, it may have failed.

-Performance testing:
Perform experiments to test its functionality, such as its ability to treat water samples or improve soil. If the effect is significantly reduced, it may be because the material has failed.

-Shelf life:
Pay attention to its shelf life. Polyacrylamide usually performs best within the validity period and may fail after the expiration date.


How to preserve it better?

-Storage environment:
Temperature: The storage temperature is usually 15°C to 25°C.
Humidity: Keep it dry and avoid humid environment to prevent physical changes caused by moisture absorption.


-Container selection:
Use well-sealed containers such as sealed bags or containers to prevent air and moisture from entering and keep it dry.

-Avoid direct sunlight:
Avoid storing it in direct sunlight, as ultraviolet rays and high temperatures may cause its performance to deteriorate.

-Check the packaging:
Make sure the packaging is intact, any damaged packaging may cause the failure of polyacrylamide.

-Marking and recording:
Mark the production date and expiration date on the packaging, and check the storage conditions regularly to ensure it is in the best condition.

Polyacrylamide plays an irreplaceable role in modern industry and agriculture due to its efficient flocculation performance and superior soil improvement effect. Whether you are in a water treatment plant, agricultural field or papermaking industry, polyacrylamide will be your ideal choice.

What do LCL (consolidated container) and FCL (full container) mean?

Actually, it is very simple to explain. LCL (consolidated container) is like carpooling, with many customers' goods in one container; FCL, as the name suggests, means that one container only contains goods from one customer.

Note: In the case of container consolidation, it is necessary to confirm in advance whether different chemicals can be transported in the same container and whether they will react with each other, so as to avoid chemical reactions and adverse consequences.

For example, sodium chlorate and potassium chlorate cannot be shipped together with other products and can only be shipped separately, regardless of the quantity.

The above are some simple basic knowledge about shipping containers. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us,we will happly to help.

A fire broke out in the hydrogen peroxide oxidation tower!

Posted on Jul 03.2024

In June 2024, a fire broke out suddenly in the hydrogen peroxide oxidation tower of a chemical plant in Tianjin. The fire was fierce and thick smoke billowed.After the accident, fire, public security and other departments have rushed to the scene to deal with it. Fortunately, the accident did not cause an explosion.

The accident also had an impact on the chemical market. Most downstream raw materials such as
caustic soda, methanol, polypropylene, and PVC have increased in price, generally by 5%.

The company is one of the major hydrogen producers in China. The accident has affected the production and supply of downstream companies to a certain extent, causing them to increase their purchasing efforts and driving prices to rise rapidly.

The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
