Product information
Potassium butyl xanthate is a butyl xanthate salt used as a flotation collector for sulfide minerals. Authoritative PubChem and J-GLOBAL records identify potassium O-butyl dithiocarbonate as CAS 871-58-9 with formula C5H9KOS2.
The Hamara inventory instead assigns CAS 137-40-6, which resolves to sodium propionate and is therefore not compatible with the stated product name or formula. The catalogue record should not publish a CAS number until Hamara confirms the intended PBX product against its supplier TDS or SDS.
