Sodium Ethyl Xanthate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Sodium Ethylxanthate
- Sodium Ethyl Xanthogenate
- SEX
Sodium ethyl xanthate supplier enquiries in Malaysia cover a sulphide-mineral flotation collector also known as sodium ethylxanthate or sodium ethyl xanthogenate. The material is selected by exact xanthate identity, active content, physical form and compatibility with the plant's reagent programme.
Commercial forms include pellets or granules for dry charging, powder for preparation and aqueous solution for metered liquid dosing. Buyers should state active xanthate content, moisture or solution concentration, free alkali and insoluble-matter limits.
Applications include copper, lead, zinc and gold-bearing sulphide-ore flotation, with selected metal-treatment uses where the process specifically names this collector. Sodium ethyl xanthate is distinct from sodium isopropyl xanthate, sodium isobutyl xanthate and dithiophosphate collectors.
Send the required form, active basis, ore or circuit details, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation, subject to applicable requirements.

Sodium Ethyl Xanthate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sodium ethyl xanthate pellets or granules | free-flowing pellets or granules | — | Dry reagent charging in sulphide-mineral flotation plants where a granular collector form is preferred. | Confirm the required dry pack format with the quotation. |
| Sodium ethyl xanthate powder | yellow to pale yellow powder | — | Reagent preparation and mineral-processing systems that specify powder handling or dissolution before dosing. | Confirm the required protective packing with the quotation. |
| Sodium ethyl xanthate solution | aqueous liquid at a stated concentration | — | Metered addition to flotation or selected metal-treatment systems where a pre-dissolved xanthate is required. | Confirm the required liquid pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about sodium ethyl xanthate
What is sodium ethyl xanthate used for?
It is used mainly as a collector in sulphide-mineral flotation, including selected copper, lead, zinc and gold-bearing ore circuits. The plant's metallurgical programme should define the dosing and circuit position.
Is sodium ethyl xanthate the same as sodium isopropyl xanthate?
No. They are different xanthate collectors with different alkyl groups. Select the material named in the qualified flotation test work rather than treating xanthates as interchangeable.
Should I request pellets, powder or a solution?
Pellets or granules suit dry reagent charging, powder suits preparation or dissolution systems, and aqueous solution supports direct liquid dosing. Include the plant handling method and target concentration in the enquiry.
What quality information should be quoted for sodium ethyl xanthate?
State active xanthate content, moisture or solution concentration, free alkali, insoluble matter and any storage or decomposition controls required by the process specification.
How do I request a sodium ethyl xanthate price in Malaysia?
Send the exact form, active basis, ore or circuit, quantity, delivery location, preferred packing and required documents. Availability is confirmed with the quotation.
