Material Safety Data Sheet

 

 

ANIONIC POLYMER TO AID COAGULATION AND WATER CLARIFICATION


DESCRIPTION:

ALKEN® SOLUTIONS A3025L is a white water-oil emulsion, anionic polyacrylamide, of high molecular weight and medium density charge. Alken® Solutions A3025L draws pin floc into a more stable floc for easier filtration. Performs best in a pH range of 7.0 - 9.0, although performance is possible within the range of 6 - 13.


CHARACTERISTICS: 

 

 Appearance:  White-milky emulsion
 Odor:  Mild hydrocarbon, acrylate
 Density at 28 C:  1.07
 Viscosity at 28 deg C:  < 4500 cps
 Activity:  32 %
 Charge-Density:  32 %
 Freezing Point:  - 15 deg. F
 Shelf-life:  6 months from delivery, min.


ADVANTAGES:

  • Effective in a variety of clarification and coagulation processes.
  • Highly concentrated. Small doses save on freight bills.
  • More environmentally friendly than aluminum salts.
  • Aids solids reduction in centrifugation process.
  • Aids in dewatering sludge.

DOSAGE:

Because of the diverse nature of the applications for ALKEN® SOLUTIONS A3025L, the required dosage may be as low as 0.1 ppm or as high as 200 ppm. It is necessary, therefore, to determine the appropriate dosage level by means of laboratory "jar tests".


PACKAGING and HANDLING:

ALKEN® SOLUTIONS A3025L is generally packaged in 55-gallon steel or fiberglass drums (500 lbs, net) which conform to Performance Oriented Packaging Specifications. This product should not be used until a Material Safety Data Sheet has been reviewed by supervisory and operating personnel. Gloves, aprons, and safety glasses are recommended when working with this product. Store in a clean, dry area. Avoid contact with organic materials, concentrated acids, and highly alkaline materials. Keep containers closed when not in use and discard when empty. Protect from frost and do not store above 85 deg. F for long periods of time. Harmonized Tariff Code: 3906.90.50 (Acrylic polymers - other).
