(PAM) he homopolymer o te acrylamide, he polymer ranei kua whakahiatohia ki etahi atu monomers.Ko te Polyacrylamide (PAM) tetahi o nga polymers wairewa-wairewa e whakamahia nuitia ana.(PAM) polyacrylamide e whakamahia nuitia ana i roto i te whakamahi hinu, te hanga pepa, te maimoatanga wai, te kakano, te rongoa, te ahuwhenua me etahi atu ahumahi.E ai ki nga tatauranga, 37% o te katoa o te polyacrylamide (PAM) hanga o te ao ka whakamahia mo te maimoatanga wai para, 27% mo te umanga hinu, me te 18% mo te umanga pepa.
