The shortest-chain sodium xanthate in common use, chosen for fast kinetics on fine sulphide particles.
SEX is the sodium salt of ethyl xanthic acid, highly soluble in water with rapid adsorption onto sulphide surfaces.
Applied in gold, copper and zinc flotation where fast collector response on fines is prioritised, often as part of a reagent blend.
Store dry and cool, away from acids and oxidising agents.
Flammable solid. Full Safety Data Sheet (SDS) supplied with every consignment.
