Recently, a global company has issued a notice prohibiting the use of polyacrylamide (PAM) substances in its product packaging materials, so its related suppliers will be affected by this requirement.

Polyacrylamide is commonly used in the paper industry to improve paper strength, improve paper tear resistance and porosity, and can also be used in textile, plastic and other industries. However, since acrylamide, a monomeric substance remaining in the synthesis process of polyacrylamide, has strong neurotoxicity, reproductive toxicity and carcinogenicity, the use of polyacrylamide in products will pose potential health risks to consumers.

Therefore, the ban on polyacrylamide can both reduce the health risks of consumers and demonstrate the company's determination and efforts to be committed to green manufacturing. Driven by the company, more and more buyers are bound to pay attention to polyacrylamide and put forward control requirements in the future.
