Foamer and booster

IRO-65 is a strong flotation frother made from polymer polyglycol. This product is a strong frother and has many applications, especially in cases where the mineral formation is difficult to float and the use of a frother may be required. This product retains its selectivity (absorption of mineral materials), and this is a property that should be present in synthetic foams. It can be compared to AERO65 in application.

IRO-65 can be used with MIBC, MIBC-F, and PINE80A frothers to increase selectivity and material recovery. IRO-65 is recommended for use when a frother with a high degree of selectivity and recovery is required. In addition, when there is a wide range of materials to be floated from fine to coarse particles, this product is recommended. Although this product is primarily used in alkaline flotation, this product can be used in both acid and alkaline flotation systems with a pH of 3.5 to 12.5. IRO-65 is water-soluble and can be diluted in projects requiring strict foam control. This product is stable under normal storage conditions.

Three variables that exist in the application of IRO-65 are the amount consumed, the time of consumption, and the frequency of consumption. The amount of frother consumption varies from one operation to another and is largely dependent on the type of ore, particle size, and water type. Although the amount consumed varies from 5 to 50 grams per ton, the normal amount consumed is 5 to 25 grams per ton.

Due to the hydrophilic nature of IRO-65, adding it to a flotation circuit without pouring is usually sufficient for most operations. In some cases, adding it in stages may be economical and reducing its consumption may be effective.

Experimental work will determine the best method.

Storage and placement:

For the storage and distribution of IRO-65, it is recommended to use containers made of black iron, mild and stainless steel, brass, and copper. Due to the low freezing point of this product, it can be stored in open spaces and away from direct sunlight.

Package:

IRO-65 is packed in 220-liter drums (net weight 200 kg), 4 drums per pallet

Expiry Date:

This product has a shelf life of at least 3 years.

Safety:

IRO-65 is a non-toxic chemical.

Inhalation:

If inhaled, take the victim to fresh air. If the victim is not breathing, perform artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical attention.

Ingestion:

If swallowed, rinse the victim’s mouth with a small amount of milk or water (only if the victim is conscious). Seek medical attention immediately.

Skin contact:

In case of skin contact, wash the affected area with a small amount of water and natural soap for at least 5 minutes.

Eye contact: In case of contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of clean water or amphoteric eye solution for at least 15 minutes, keep eyes open, follow medical recommendations.

Eyes:

In case of contact with eyes, rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water or amphoteric eye solution for 15 minutes, keep eyes open, follow medical recommendations.
