SIPX (Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate) 

SIPX (Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate) is a widely used medium-strength sulfide flotation collector known for its excellent selectivity, fast adsorption, and stable performance across copper, lead, zinc, and precious-metal flotation circuits.
With slightly lower collecting strength than SIBX but higher selectivity, SIPX is ideal for operations seeking improved concentrate grade with controlled pyrite recovery.

SIPX is particularly effective in flotation of chalcopyrite, galena, activated sphalerite, and polymetallic sulfides under both rougher and cleaner stages. It performs exceptionally well in ores requiring balanced selectivity and moderate collecting power.

Designed for modern mineral processing applications, SIPX provides:
Moderate but effective collecting strength ideal for selective flotation
Higher selectivity vs SIBX and PAX, producing cleaner concentrates
Fast adsorption on sulfide mineral surfaces
Strong performance in mildly oxidized or transition ores
Reduced pyrite recovery compared to stronger xanthates
Stable operation across common flotation pH conditions
Cost-efficient reagent suitable for high-tonnage concentrators

SIPX is commonly used in:
• copper flotation (chalcopyrite, bornite)
• lead flotation (galena)
• zinc flotation after CuSO₄ activation
• gold-associated sulfides
• polymetallic and selective flotation circuits
