Overview of Polyacrylic Acid
Polyacrylic Acid (PAA) is a high-molecular-weight, water-soluble polymer widely used as a thickener, dispersant, scale inhibitor, and binder across industrial and chemical applications. Known for its excellent water retention, chemical stability, and strong chelating properties, Polyacrylic Acid is essential in water treatment, detergents, coatings, and polymer formulations.
In industrial applications, Polyacrylic Acid is valued for its consistent molecular weight, high purity, and superior performance under varying pH and temperature conditions. It is commonly used alongside Polyacrylamide, Polyethylene Glycol, and Acrylic Monomers, available on ChemicalBull to enable seamless formulation and interlinking solutions.
