Cationic Polyacrylamide (Cationic PAM) formulations are made for powerful sludge thickening, dewatering, and water clarification, especially where high organic loads or biosolids are present.
With advanced polymer architecture, high cationic charge density, the cationic range delivers consistent flocculation performance in municipal and industrial wastewater treatments.
Whether operating centrifuges, belt presses, or gravity thickeners, these polymers help reduce sludge volume, minimize polymer use, and improve filtrate clarity, all while supporting the operational and sustainability KPIs.
Whether you’re handling high-shear dewatering or slow-settling sludges, we have the right cationic PAMs.
Every product is developed with long-term plant performance in mind, balancing dewatering efficiency, filter throughput, and environmental compliance.
Here’s what makes PolyPAM’s Cationic PAM formulations trusted:
Our cationic polymers are engineered for applications across sectors such as:
Cationic PAM applied to a wastewater batch from a thickening process.

Looking to improve dewatering rates, reduce polymer usage, or comply with stricter effluent norms?
Cationic PAM increases floc size and integrity, enabling faster water release and drier sludge cakes. This reduces disposal volume and associated costs.
Yes. These high-shear stable formulations are specifically designed for these systems and maintain integrity during processing.
The choice to select the best Cationic PAMs for a plant depends on several factors, such as sludge composition, solids content, dewatering equipment type, pH levels, and regulatory requirements.
