Discover our OREPREP® Portfolio

OREPREP® frothers are well suited for a variety of metal separations. Their efficacy has been proven for metallic sulfides, precious metals, coal, phosphate and other industrial metals. They also provide excellent coarse particle support. Browse our product range below. 

 

OREPREP® F-501 FROTHER
  • Provides fast flotation kinetics, along with high selectivity.
  • Particularly suited for finer grinds. Dosage can be higher than with glycol and formulated frothers.
OREPREP® F-515 FROTHER
  • Combines the selectivity and enhanced kinetics typically associated with alcohol-based frothers with the stability, supportive strength and persistence of polyglycol frothers.
  • Good for coarse particle support.
OREPREP® F-521 FROTHER
  • Formulated frother providing both strength and selectivity.
  • Excellent for all but the finest milled ores.
OREPREP® F-549 FROTHER
  • A stronger alternative to alcohol-based frothers and more selective than a pure polyglycol-based frother.
  • This frother typically produces a larger froth volume with slightly more persistence than most alcohol-based frothers.
  • It has proven effective in metallic sulfide, precious metals, coal, phosphate and other industrial metals.
OREPREP® F-579 FROTHER
  • A proprietary blend of polyglycol alkyl ether frothers.
  • It is designed to be stronger than an alcohol, while being more selective than a pure polyglycol.
  • Typically, it generates a larger froth volume and has slightly more persistence than most alcohol-based frothers.
Oreprep® F-680 FROTHER
  • A frother designed to reduce consumption, extend longevity in the rougher float row, and enhance pH tolerance, compared to traditional alcohol frothers.
  • Product functions include excellent coarse particle support, glycol frother, high recovery, low dosage, strong frother.
Oreprep® F-717 FROTHER
  • Maintains a consistent froth bed and improves circuit stability by increasing coarse particle recovery, with limited negative impact on the cleaners.
OREPREP® OTX-140 FROTHER
  • Combines the feature characteristics of alcohol-based frothers - i.e., typical selectivity and enhanced kinetics - with the longevity, supportive strength and persistence of polyglycol frothers.
  • Good for coarse particles. 
Oreprep® OTZ-100 FROTHER
  • Developed for copper/gold operations where coarse particle support is needed.
  • Product functions include alcohol-glycol-glycol ether frother blend, excellent coarse particle support, high selectivity, low dosage, medium strength frother or strong frother. 
Oreprep® X-95 FROTHER
  • A frother blend designed to replace MIBC in lead/zinc flotation.
  • This cost-effective alternative maintains plant operations and metallurgy without detrimental effects.
Oreprep® X-133 FROTHER
  • An alcohol/glycol blend frother formulation that promotes fast kinetics and is selective against gangue minerals.
  • Used for a wide range of pH and can be added undiluted to the flotation circuit.
  • Product functions include alcohol frother, fast kinetics, high selectivity, low persistency, weak frother. 
Oreprep® F-507 FROTHER
  • High molecular weight polyglycol frother that offer excellent mineral load support and persistent down on flotation banks.
  • Used for a wide range of pH and can be added undiluted to the flotation circuit.
  • Good for base metals sulfide and excellent for coarse particle recovery.
