Clariant Mining Solutions HOSTAFLOT®: SAFER, BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO XANTHATES COLLECTORS Clariant’s customers were concerned with the safe handling and performance of xanthates in their operations. Through collaboration Clariant developed alternatives with high copper flotation performance and safer handling and disposal solution for mines, lowering capital expenditure and providing a longer shelf life than solid xanthate. Our HOSTAFLOT® Xanthate Replacement collectors allow operators to discontinue the use of sodium isopropyl xanthate and potassium amyl xanthate. They are delivered in bulk in liquid form, eliminating the need to dispose of contaminated packaging that results from the use of xanthates. WWW.CLARIANT.COM/MINING performance and value delivered.
