Frequently Asked Questions

What is Potassium Ethylxanthate (PEX) used for?

It's a short-chain xanthate collector used mainly in cleaner and finishing flotation stages, where concentrate grade matters more than maximum recovery.

Why choose PEX over SIPX or PAX?

PEX trades collecting power for selectivity — it's the right call when protecting concentrate grade matters more than recovering every last percentage point.

What metals is PEX typically used on?

Copper and lead sulfide flotation, most commonly in cleaner stages.
