SIBX (Sodium Isobutyl Xanthate) | Mining Reagent
SIBX (sodium isobutyl xanthate) is a flotation reagent used in mining for sulfide ore recovery. Bulk supply available for mining operations and export markets.
Bulk Pricing:
- Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate (SIPX): (CH3)2CHOCSSNa
MOQ: 3 Ton
SIBX (Sodium Isobutyl Xanthate) is a widely used flotation reagent in the mining industry, particularly for the recovery of sulfide ores such as copper, gold, and nickel. It is one of the most commonly used xanthates due to its strong collecting properties and cost-effectiveness.
SIBX is typically supplied as a yellowish powder or granules and is soluble in water, allowing efficient application in flotation circuits. It functions as a collector by selectively binding to metal sulfide particles, improving separation efficiency during mineral processing.
BOXx Chemical Distributor supplies SIBX to mining operations and industrial buyers requiring reliable bulk chemical supply across South Africa, Southern Africa, and export markets.
