Your Processing Challenges. Our Chemistry Solutions

Danafloat™ collectors can be tailored to balance valuable-mineral recovery with gangue and iron sulphide rejection. OptiOre™ flotation reagents and solvent extractants support selective separation and product purity. Our portfolios help operators target strong recovery without compromising concentrate or final product quality.

Our Specialty Reagent Product Range

Danafloat™

Dithiophosphate Collectors 

Orica offers a broad range of Danafloat™ dithiophosphate collectors designed to deliver selective sulphide mineral recovery across varied ore types. The portfolio enables reagent selection to be tailored to mineralogy and circuit conditions, supporting improved recovery, concentrate grade and separation performance.

Dithiophosphate + MBT Collectors

Orica’s Danafloat™ dithiophosphate and MBT collector blends provide stronger, versatile collection for complex, tarnished or partially oxidised sulphide minerals. These formulations help address difficult mineral surfaces and variable feed conditions while supporting valuable-metal recovery and selective flotation.

Dithiophosphate + Thionocarbamate Collectors 

Orica’s Danafloat™ dithiophosphate and thionocarbamate collector blends are formulated for high-performance recovery of copper and other valuable sulphide minerals. The combined chemistries help manage complex mineralogy, improve selectivity against iron sulphides and optimise recovery where conventional collectors may be insufficient.
