SynonymesCationic Polymer, Cationic Flocculant
Cationic Polyelectrolytes are water-soluble, positively charged polymers widely used in water treatment, papermaking, and other industrial processes. They are particularly effective as flocculants for removing suspended solids from water.
- Water Treatment: Used as flocculants in water and wastewater treatment to remove suspended solids.
- Paper Industry: Used in papermaking to improve retention and drainage.
- Textile Industry: Used in textile finishing and as a fixing agent for dyes.
- Oil & Gas: Applied in enhanced oil recovery processes and drilling fluids.
- Agriculture: Used in agrochemical formulations as stabilizers and carriers.
