Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate
Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate sits one step up the chain from the ethyl collector and is one of the most widely used general-purpose sulphide collectors in the world. The branched three-carbon chain gives a working balance between selectivity and collecting strength that suits copper, lead, zinc and pyrite circuits, which is why it is often the default reagent a concentrator benchmarks alternatives against.

Technical & procurement detail
What sodium isopropyl xanthate does in a flotation circuit+
It adsorbs onto sulphide mineral surfaces and renders them hydrophobic so that air bubbles can carry them into the froth, while gangue remains wetted and reports to tailings. Collector choice, dosage point and dosage rate are metallurgical decisions taken against your own ore, grind and water chemistry, and are established by trial rather than published here.
What decides the grade you actually need+
The ore and the mineral you are trying to float decide the collector before anything else, because chain length trades selectivity against collecting strength. After that, the presentation your dosing system can handle — pellet, granular or powder — the active content convention your metallurgy reports use, decomposition and storage behaviour, and the documentation your site requires decide the material quoted. Reagent selection is confirmed by plant or laboratory trial on your own ore, never assumed from a catalogue page.
Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate within the xanthate collector family+
The xanthate collectors form one chemical family in which the alcohol chain and the alkali cation change collecting power and selectivity. Short-chain xanthates are more selective and weaker collectors; longer chains collect more strongly and less selectively. Each xanthate on this catalogue therefore has its own canonical page because it is a different chemical with a different metallurgical behaviour, not a grade of another. Pellet, powder and flake presentations, solution strengths and packaging formats are handled inside each record and are never published as separate pages. Dithiophosphates, thionocarbamates and frothers are different reagent classes with their own pages.
Specification conventions and how to state yours+
Suppliers report active content, solution strength, particle presentation and impurity limits in different conventions, and the numbers are not interchangeable between them. State the convention your specification uses along with the property window you actually need, and comparison is made like for like against producer data for the grade offered.
What this page does not state+
This page asserts no purity, assay, active content, concentration, moisture, pH, density, dosage rate, performance figure, approval, registration, certification, origin, packing, minimum quantity, availability, lead time or price. Every commercially meaningful value is taken from producer documentation for the exact grade offered and confirmed in writing before order.
Sourcing and origin+
Allzone sources this material through producer channels and quotes it per enquiry. Origin, production route and shipping point are selected against your technical requirement, quantity, documentation need and destination, and are stated in the offer rather than fixed by this page. Freight, discharge point and packaging format move landed cost, so quotations are compared delivered to your plant.
Documentation supplied with an offer+
Technical data sheet, safety data sheet and certificate of analysis for the exact grade offered are requested from the producer and shared with the quotation. Handling, storage, incompatibility and personal-protection requirements are treated as SDS questions for the specific grade rather than figures published here. Where a declaration matters to your application — food contact, cosmetic, potable water, feed or regulatory — it is confirmed for that grade and intended use rather than assumed from this page.
How Allzone quotes this+
Send the process it goes into, the function you need it to perform, the property window your specification calls for in your own convention, the annual and per-shipment quantity, the packaging format your intake can receive, the documentation required per shipment and the delivery province or port. Several materials can be listed in one enquiry and reviewed together rather than split into separate requests.
Frequently asked questions
Does Allzone publish a price for sodium isopropyl xanthate?+
No. Price, minimum quantity, origin, packing and lead time depend on the grade, the volume and the destination, and are confirmed at quotation. Nothing on this page is an offer.
Which grades or presentations can be quoted?+
Pelletised presentation, Granular or powder presentation, Active content conventions, Packaging and storage format are handled inside this single product record. Grades, concentrations and applications of one material are not published as separate pages; the grade offered and its published data are confirmed in the quotation.
What documentation is available for sodium isopropyl xanthate?+
Technical data sheet, safety data sheet and certificate of analysis for the exact grade offered are requested from the producer and shared with the quotation. Handling, storage, incompatibility and personal-protection requirements are treated as SDS questions for the specific grade rather than figures published here. Where a declaration matters to your application — food contact, cosmetic, potable water, feed or regulatory — it is confirmed for that grade and intended use rather than assumed from this page.
Can sodium isopropyl xanthate be supplied into Ontario and the GTA?+
Delivery and logistics into Ontario, Quebec and the rest of Canada are reviewed per enquiry alongside the rest of the offer. We publish no stock, inventory or delivery-window guarantee on this page.
