Applied Polymer Systems Inc

Applied Polymer Systems, Inc. (APS) is a multi-generation family-owned company that has manufactured anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) flocculant products since the mid-1990s, with underlying R&D spanning over 40 years. Operating from the Atlanta and Woodstock, Georgia area, APS formulates site-specific polymer blends rather than generic products — each formulation is matched to a customer's soil or water sample through laboratory testing. The core product line includes APS 700 Series Floc Logs, semi-hydrated cylindrical flocculant logs placed directly in turbid water flow; APS 600 and 700 Series Silt Stop powders for erosion and sediment control; APS 800 Series Pond Logs for removing turbidity and inanimate nutrients from pond and lake water with reported 60–95 percent phosphorus reduction; Silt Clear anionic PAM blend powders achieving over 90 percent fine sediment removal; Dust Stop for airborne particulate control; and Erosion Stop hydroseeding tackifier. All APS products are NSF Standard 60 certified (drinking water grade), EPA toxicity tested, and manufactured in the United States. The company exclusively uses anionic PAM chemistry, citing its safety for aquatic organisms compared to cationic alternatives. APS serves construction, industrial and municipal stormwater, mining, energy pipeline, agricultural, and pond management markets, and offers live training courses through its Stormwater Academy.
