Sodium diisobutyl (dibutyl) dithiophosphate

Application

It serves as a highly effective flotation collector in mineral processing, particularly valued for its strong affinity to sulfide minerals like copper, lead, and zinc. Its branched-chain molecular structure enhances selectivity and collecting power, making it especially suitable for processing complex or refractory ores where conventional collectors show limited efficiency. This reagent also finds applications as an antioxidant and extreme pressure additive in lubricants, as well as a vulcanization accelerator in rubber production.
