Potassium Amyl Xanthate (PAX), identified by CAS 2720-73-2, is a specialized chemical widely employed in industrial applications, most notably as a collector in mineral flotation. Understanding its chemical properties, potential hazards, and safe handling procedures is crucial for procurement managers, R&D scientists, and plant operators. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., as a manufacturer and supplier, emphasizes the importance of informed and safe utilization of our products.

Chemically, Potassium Amyl Xanthate is a potassium salt of amyl xanthic acid. Its molecular formula is C6H11KOS2. It typically appears as a gray and light gray powder or granular solid, possessing a strong, pungent sulfurous odor. PAX is soluble in water, forming a slightly alkaline solution. While effective in its applications, it is important to note that xanthates, including PAX, are reactive and can be flammable materials. They have the potential to form combustible dust clouds when dispersed in air. Decomposition and spontaneous combustion can occur if solid xanthates are exposed to moisture and/or heat. Therefore, proper storage and handling are paramount. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that our PAX meets stringent quality standards, with a typical assay of 90% minimum for Grade A, contributing to its predictable performance.

For personnel involved in handling Potassium Amyl Xanthate, safety is a primary concern. Exposure to PAX can lead to irritation of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Ingestion can cause gastrointestinal distress. Thus, when handling this chemical, it is imperative to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). This includes chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, and eye protection such as safety goggles or a face shield. It is also advised to avoid breathing dust and to ensure adequate ventilation in the workspace. Good industrial hygiene practices, such as washing hands thoroughly after handling, are essential. For bulk purchases, we supply PAX in secure packaging, such as 900kg wooden boxes, designed to maintain product integrity and facilitate safe handling.

Proper storage of Potassium Amyl Xanthate is critical to preserve its quality and prevent hazards. It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from sources of heat, sparks, and open flames. Containers should be kept tightly closed to prevent moisture contamination, which can lead to degradation or ignition. Avoid storing the material in direct sunlight or at elevated temperatures, as prolonged exposure to heat above 40°C can cause caking or decomposition. As a responsible manufacturer, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides clear storage guidelines with our product to ensure safe and effective management.
