· Amides are used widely in industry. Amides are found in the plastic and rubber industry, paper industry, water and sewage treatment and colour, in crayons, pencils and inks. · Acryl amide and polyacrylamide are the products most widely used in these industries. · However, acrlamide is a carcinogen, so can only be used if the chemicals are not intended for consumption. · Polyacrylamide is used in its place, mainly therefore, in the treatment of drinking water and sewage, as these are intended for consumption. · The paper industry takes a lot of polyacrylamide produced, being used as a binder and for retention aids for fibres. It also retains the coulour pigments on the paper. · Acrylamide is used to stabilize soil and is used in sand to help keep free sand able to flow, so can fit moulds. It is used as a coating on many household appliances and car parts with thermosetting acrylics. · Other minor uses of acrylamide are in the cosmetic industry to prepare soaps, hair products and pre-shave lotions. It is also used for explosives, adhesives, printing inks, latex thickeners and emulsion stabilizers, but these are on a much lower scale to the ones stated before.
