AEROPHINE 3418A Replacements

Selective dithiophosphinic collectors designed as high-performance alternatives to AEROPHINE® 3418A. Ideal for gold, silver, copper, and complex sulfide flotation requiring enhanced selectivity and cleaner concentrates.

AEROPHINE® 3418A Replacements 

(General Name: Dithiophosphinic Collectors)

AEROPHINE® 3418A Replacements refer to high-selectivity dithiophosphinic/phosphinate collectors engineered to deliver performance comparable to the global industry benchmark AEROPHINE® 3418A.
These collectors are designed for the flotation of gold, silver, copper, zinc, and complex sulfide ores requiring strong adsorption, enhanced selectivity, and improved concentrate cleanliness.

Based on advanced phosphinic and dithiophosphinic chemistry, these collectors provide excellent metallurgical response in challenging ore bodies, especially where xanthates alone cannot achieve the required selectivity or grade.

Dithiophosphinic collectors used as 3418A alternatives offer:
High selectivity against pyrite, pyrrhotite, and unwanted gangue minerals
Improved recovery of precious metals and base-metal sulfides
• Strong performance in partially oxidized and complex polymetallic ores
• Stable activity under a wide range of pH and pulp chemistry conditions
• Cleaner concentrate grade with lower total reagent consumption
• Compatibility with xanthates for boosted recovery

Typical Applications:
• gold–silver flotation
• copper–zinc and copper–lead separation
• polymetallic and transition ores
• complex sulfide systems with high pyrite content
• operations seeking a cost-effective alternative to AEROPHINE® 3418A

Z&Z supplies high-quality dithiophosphinic/phosphinate collectors suitable as AEROPHINE® 3418A replacements. Products are export-grade with stable performance, safe packaging, and full-container global delivery capabilities.
