    Application Information

    POLYFROTH® W31 frother can be fed neat or diluted with water for effective control of addition rate. The product, which requires only a short conditioning period, is typically added to the conditioning tank feeding the primary roughing circuit. If necessary, secondary addition points in the scavenger circuits may be used to facilitate recovery. Typical dosage rates are grams per ton of run of the mill ore.
