Blufloc AA5516 Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM) Polymer | Paper Retention Aid & Drainage Flocculant for White Water Recovery
Blufloc AA5516 is a high molecular weight anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) with a medium anionic charge degree, specifically optimized for paper industry applications such as retention, drainage and white water clarification.
As a copolymer of acrylamide and acrylic acid, AA5516 provides effective particle aggregation through polymer bridging, helping retain fine fibers and fillers during the papermaking process.
Compared with general-purpose APAM grades, AA5516 is engineered to deliver:
- Improved fiber and filler retention
- Enhanced drainage performance
- Better white water recovery efficiency
Its balanced molecular structure ensures strong floc formation without over-agglomeration, making it suitable for high-speed paper machines.

Excellent Retention Performance
Improves retention of fine fibers and fillers, reducing raw material loss.
Enhanced Drainage Efficiency
Accelerates water removal during paper formation, increasing production efficiency.
Improved White Water Recovery
Promotes flocculation of suspended solids in white water systems for reuse.
Stable Performance in Paper Machines
Suitable for high-speed and continuous production environments.
Reduced Chemical Consumption
Optimized polymer structure allows efficient use at low dosage.
