Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate (SIPX) is a high-performance, strong and selective collector specifically engineered for the flotation of non-ferrous metal sulfide ores. Recognized for its superior collecting power, SIPX is widely utilized in the recovery of copper, molybdenum, and zinc sulfide ores, as well as auriferous iron ores, ensuring optimal mineral separation and high-grade concentrates.
Designed for versatility, SIPX exhibits a distinct advantage in increasing the recovery rates of gold and copper-gold ores, providing satisfactory results even for refractory copper-lead oxide ores. Whether deployed in rougher or scavenger flotation processes, SIPX delivers consistent industrial efficiency, while also serving as a reliable precipitator in hydrometallurgy and a vulcanization accelerator in rubber production.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is primarily used as a strong collector for the flotation of non-ferrous metal sulfide ores, particularly for copper, molybdenum, zinc, and gold-bearing iron ores.
The collection ability of Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate is slightly stronger than that of ethyl xanthate, making it more effective for certain sulfide ores.
Yes, SIPX can obtain satisfactory results when used in the flotation process for refractory copper-lead oxide ores.
Aside from flotation, it is used as a precipitator in hydrometallurgy and as an accelerator for rubber vulcanization.
We offer wooden boxes (800kg, 850kg, or 900kg) and iron drums (120kg or 180kg) to suit various shipping and handling needs.
The primary difference is the active ingredient percentage. The 90% grade has higher purity and lower water/volatile content (≤ 4%) compared to the 85% grade (≤ 10%).
