A short-chain, fast-acting xanthate collector used for fine particle flotation and as a fast-reacting secondary collector.
PEX is the potassium salt of ethyl xanthic acid — the shortest common commercial xanthate, giving high water solubility and rapid mineral-surface reaction.
Used in gold and base-metal flotation circuits where quick collector action on fine sulphide particles is needed.
Dry, cool, ventilated area; keep away from moisture and acids.
Flammable solid. Full Safety Data Sheet (SDS) supplied with every consignment.
