Acrylamide is an organic compound that can form in some foods during high-temperature cooking processes, such as frying, roasting, and baking. Acrylamide in food forms from sugars and an amino acid that are naturally present in food; it does not come from food packaging or the environment.

Industrial Uses

1. Paints & Coatings

  • Adhesion Promoter: Acrylamide is used in coatings to improve adhesion to surfaces and increase durability, particularly in water-based coatings.
  • Film-Forming Agent: Polyacrylamide derivatives contribute to film formation in coatings, enhancing the smoothness and longevity of paint layers.

2. Polymers & Resins

  • Polyacrylamide Production: Acrylamide is primarily used as a monomer in the production of polyacrylamide, a polymer with applications in water treatment, paper manufacturing, and enhanced oil recovery.
  • Thickening Agent: Used in producing polymers that serve as thickening agents in various industries, including cosmetics and personal care.

3. Pharmaceuticals

  • Drug Delivery Systems: Acrylamide-derived hydrogels are used in drug delivery systems due to their biocompatibility and ability to control release rates.
  • Protein Electrophoresis: Acrylamide is a key component in polyacrylamide gels used for protein and nucleic acid electrophoresis in biological research and diagnostics.

4. Construction

  • Grouting and Sealing: Acrylamide is used in construction materials, such as sealing compounds and grouts, to prevent water leakage and stabilize soil, particularly in tunnel construction and underground infrastructure.
  • Cement Additive: It can be included in concrete formulations to control the setting time and improve water retention and structural integrity.

5. Pulp & Paper Solutions

  • Strength Enhancement: In the paper industry, acrylamide-based polymers are used to increase the strength of paper products by enhancing fiber bonding.
  • Retention Aids: Polyacrylamides are employed as retention aids in the papermaking process to improve the retention of fines and fillers. Fabric Solutions
  • Dye Fixatives: Acrylamide is used in textiles to improve the fixation of dyes, ensuring vibrant and long-lasting color in fabrics.
  • Antistatic Agents: Acrylamide polymers can be applied as antistatic agents in textiles to reduce static electricity in synthetic fibers.
