One of the most widely used flotation collectors globally, valued for its balance of selectivity and recovery in copper, cobalt and gold circuits.
SIBX is the sodium salt of isobutyl xanthic acid, produced by reacting isobutyl alcohol, carbon disulphide and sodium hydroxide. It is a medium-chain xanthate offering good selectivity against gangue minerals.
A workhorse collector across the Central African Copperbelt for copper and copper-cobalt sulphide flotation, and widely used in gold flotation ahead of cyanidation.
Keep sealed and dry; sensitive to moisture and prolonged heat exposure which accelerate decomposition.
Flammable solid, self-heating risk if damp and stacked; store away from acids. Full Safety Data Sheet (SDS) supplied with every consignment.
