Product Details

Dealing with slimes, froth instability, or slow tailings settling? D497, developed by Y&X Beijing Technology Co., Ltd., is a purpose-built depressant designed to resolve exactly those issues. It delivers consistent results in flotation plants processing clay-rich or fine-grained ores, where conventional reagents often fall short.
What Makes D497 Stand Out
- Strong Clay Suppression
Effectively inhibits minerals like montmorillonite and kaolinite that interfere with flotation performance. - Improves Flotation Selectivity
Helps reduce gangue entrainment and enhances the response of valuable sulfide minerals. - Boosts Thickener Efficiency
Speeds up tailings settling and improves water clarity for reuse. - Simple to Use, Safe to Store
Powder form, easy to prepare (2-5% solution), and stable in dry, ventilated storage for up to 24 months. - Works Alone or with Sodium Silicate
Demonstrates even better results when combined with water glass (recommended ratio: 1:1-3:1).
Application Guide
- Dosage: 20-500 g/t depending on ore properties
- Usage Points: Add to grinding, conditioning, or flotation stage
- Preparation: Dissolve in clean water ≥5°C with continuous stirring
From froth to final tailings, D497 gives you better control, cleaner concentrate, and more efficient water management.
