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.
