Product overview
Sodium Amyl Xanthate is a high-collecting-power xanthate used in selected copper, nickel and precious-metal-bearing sulfide circuits. Buyers should define normal-amyl versus isoamyl identity, assay, pellet form and target ore response to prevent name or grade substitution.

Function & Usage
- Select Mineral Flotation Collectors
Provides mineral-surface collection for sulfide, oxide or non-sulfide flotation according to collector chemistry, ore mineralogy, pH and circuit design. Typical uses: Copper, nickel and precious-metal-bearing sulfide flotation, Strong collection in complex or lower-grade sulfide ores, Recovery programs where collecting power is prioritized over selectivity.
Product information

- Applications:
- Copper, nickel and precious-metal-bearing sulfide flotation, Strong collection in complex or lower-grade sulfide ores, Recovery programs where collecting power is prioritized over selectivity
- Hazard / Transport:
- Flammable or self-heating flotation reagent that may be harmful if swallowed or inhaled and can cause serious eye or skin effects. Contact with acids, heat or moisture can accelerate decomposition and release toxic, highly flammable carbon disulfide. Commercial xanthates are commonly evaluated for UN 3342, Class 4.2 transport; confirm the exact grade-specific SDS, packing group and destination rules before shipment.
- Storage:
- Store in tightly closed, moisture-resistant original packaging in a cool, dry, shaded and well-ventilated dangerous-goods area. Keep away from acids, oxidizers, water, heat, sparks, flames and direct sunlight; control inventory age because xanthates decompose during prolonged or warm storage.
