    Potassium Amyl Xanthate is a yellowish solid powder or pellet that is 90% pure and soluble in water. It is used for flotation of metal sulfides and gold-bearing pyrite in mining, though it is the least selective reagent. It comes packaged in 130kg steel drums and should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area to avoid heat, water, or moisture and handled carefully to prevent sparks or dust inhalation.
