    Product Overview

    PDADMAC, also known as PolyDADMAC or Poly(dimethyl diallylammonium chloride), is a liquid cationic polymer with strong charge neutralization ability. It is widely used in drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment, sludge dewatering, industrial clarification, mining, paper-making, textile, and oil industry applications.

    In tap water treatment plants, raw water from rivers, reservoirs, lakes, or groundwater sources may contain clay, silt, algae, organic matter, colloids, and fine suspended particles. These impurities are often negatively charged and difficult to remove by settling or filtration alone.

    Bluwat NSF Grade PDADMAC Cationic Polymer works as a coagulant aid or primary coagulant to neutralize particle charges and promote larger floc formation. It helps improve tap water clarification, reduce turbidity, lower filter loading, and support more stable finished water quality.

    For potable water applications, users should confirm the applicable NSF certification scope, certified grade, maximum use level, and local drinking water regulations before commercial dosing.

    Application in Tap Water Clarification

    PDADMAC can be used in municipal tap water treatment systems to improve the performance of coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration.

    Typical applications include:

    • Tap water clarification
    • Raw water turbidity removal
    • Suspended solids reduction
    • Colloid destabilization
    • Coagulation aid with PAC, alum, or ferric salts
    • Sedimentation tank performance improvement
    • Filter loading reduction
    • Surface water treatment
    • Municipal drinking water treatment
    • Algae and fine particle removal support

    Key Benefits

    NSF Grade

    Bluwat PDADMAC can be supplied for tap water clarification projects requiring NSF grade cationic polymer solutions. Suitable for drinking water treatment within approved limits.

    High Charge Density

    Provides strong positive charge to neutralize negatively charged colloids, clay, silt, algae, and fine suspended particles in raw water.

    Better Coagulation

    Improves particle destabilization and helps inorganic coagulants form stronger and more settleable flocs.

    Improved Turbidity

    The product helps reduce raw water turbidity and improves clarified water quality before filtration.

    Reduced Filter Load

    Better floc formation can reduce solids carryover to filters, extending filter run time and reducing backwash frequency.

    Effective at Low Dosage

    Due to its high charge density, PDADMAC can achieve strong coagulation assistance at low dosage after jar testing.

    Working Principle

    PDADMAC improves tap water clarification mainly through charge neutralization and coagulation enhancement.

    1
    Raw water contains negatively charged clay, silt, algae, and organic colloids.
    2
    PDADMAC provides strong cationic charge to neutralize these particles.
    3
    Destabilized particles begin to collide and aggregate.
    4
    Larger flocs form during the flocculation stage.
    5
    Flocs are removed by sedimentation, clarification, or filtration.
    6
    Filtered water quality becomes more stable before final disinfection.

    Recommended Treatment Process

    Raw water intake → Raw water turbidity and pH check → PAC, alum, ferric salt, or PDADMAC primary dosing → PDADMAC coagulant aid dosing (if required) → Rapid mixing → Slow mixing → Sedimentation → Filtration → Disinfection → Finished tap water

    Application Method & Guidance

    For tap water clarification, PDADMAC should be selected according to raw water turbidity, suspended solids, algae content, natural organic matter, temperature, pH value, and treatment process.

    Dilution: Normally diluted to 0.5–5% concentration based on solid content before dosing.

    Optimization: The optimum dosage should be confirmed by jar testing and plant trial. Control dosing point and mixing speed for uniform dispersion.

    Use with Inorganic Coagulants

    PDADMAC can be used as a coagulant aid together with PAC, alum, or ferric salts. While PDADMAC provides charge neutralization, inorganic salts provide hydroxide floc formation. Combined use improves floc quality and reduces total chemical cost.

    Packaging and Storage

    Available in 25L plastic drums, 200L plastic drums, and 1000L IBC drums. Store in original containers in a cool and dry place. Keep away from heat, flame, and direct sunlight.
