Sodium Dibutyl Dithiophosphate / Dithiophosphate BS 49% – 53%

Sodium Dibutyl Dithiophosphate (Dithiophosphate BS 49% – 53%) is a specialized flotation reagent widely used in the mining and metallurgical industries. This high-performance chemical is valued for its efficiency in separating valuable non-ferrous metals from ore, particularly copper, lead, and zinc sulfides. Due to its versatile composition and strong collecting properties, it has become a trusted solution for companies looking to maximize recovery rates while maintaining operational safety.

What is Sodium Dibutyl Dithiophosphate?

Sodium Dibutyl Dithiophosphate is an organophosphorus compound produced under strict industrial quality standards. With an active concentration of 49% – 53%, it is delivered as a stable aqueous solution, ensuring consistent performance during mineral processing. Its dual functionality as both a collector and frother makes it a valuable reagent in flotation systems.

How It Works

When introduced into flotation cells, Sodium Dibutyl Dithiophosphate selectively attaches to metal sulfide particles, increasing their hydrophobicity and enabling efficient separation from gangue materials. This targeted action results in higher yields, reduced processing costs, and improved ore grades.

Key Benefits

• High Selectivity: Effective with copper, lead, and zinc ores, as well as precious metals like silver.

• Dual Action: Functions both as a collector and auxiliary frother.

• Stable Concentration: Consistent 49% – 53% content ensures predictable results.

• Operational Efficiency: Improves recovery rates while minimizing reagent consumption.

• Versatility: Performs well in both acidic and neutral flotation conditions.

Safety and Handling

Sodium Dibutyl Dithiophosphate is manufactured under international chemical safety guidelines. While generally safe to handle with standard industrial precautions, it should always be used with personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and eye protection. Ensure adequate ventilation in processing areas, and follow your company’s chemical handling protocols.

Longevity and Shelf Life

With a shelf life of 12 months under proper storage conditions, this product remains stable and effective. The packaging is designed to prevent contamination and degradation, ensuring that the active ingredients retain their efficiency over time.
