Technical Note
Standard collector for sulfide mineral flotation. Decomposes in acidic conditions — maintain slurry pH above 7 during use.
Safety Warning
Irritant. Decomposes to release toxic carbon disulfide gas upon contact with acids or moisture. Store in cool, dry, ventilated conditions away from acids.
Logistics & Storage
Supplied in nitrogen-purged steel drums (50–150 kg). Shelf life is limited — first-in-first-out inventory rotation required.
