Ifu yera cyangwa granule, kandi irashobora kugabanywamo ubwoko bune: NTA-Ionic, Anionic, CATIC na Zwittarionic. Polyacrylalide (pam) ni igitabo rusange cya homopolymes ya acylamide cyangwa copolymedd hamwe nabandi bantu. Nimwe mubintu bikoreshwa cyane mumazi polymers. Ikoreshwa cyane mugukoresha peteroli, gutunganya amazi, imyenda, gukora impapuro, gutunganya amabuye y'agaciro, ubuvuzi, ubuhinzi nizindi nganda. Imirima nyamukuru ikoreshwa mubihugu byamahanga ni gutunganya amazi, gukora impapuro, ubucukuzi, metallurgie, nibindi.; Kugeza ubu, kunywa pam nini ni ugukoresha amavuta yo gukora peteroli mu Bushinwa, kandi gukura byihuse ni ugukoresha amazi no gukora impapuro.
