Dust suppressants, flotation reagents, drilling-mud emulsions for blasting and drilling, and process chemistry for mineral concentration. 15 formulations across mining operations.
What this sector covers
15 formulations in catalogue plus custom-formulation support against specific plant conditions.
Dust generation on haul roads, in crushing operations, and around stockpiles creates health, equipment-wear, and environmental-compliance pressure. Water alone is inadequate; surface-tension reduction is needed.
Surfactant-based dust suppressants and binders specified for haul-road treatment, stockpile sealing, and crushing-plant misting. Multi-week residual performance reduces application frequency.
Mineral flotation depends on collector + frother + activator + depressant chemistry tuned to the specific ore body. Sub-optimal reagent selection costs recovery and concentrate grade.
Collector range (xanthates, dithiophosphates), frothers (MIBC, polyglycol-based), and pH modifiers. Bench-flotation testing with operator-supplied ore samples guides selection.
Mining-grade explosives use emulsion formulations whose performance depends on emulsifier chemistry; drilling-mud for exploration and production drilling shares chemistry with oil-and-gas drilling.
Emulsifier components for ANFO and emulsion explosives + drilling-mud reagent range (shared with the oil-and-gas catalogue) covering exploration and production drilling.

Industry vs N&T
Reference values per parameter, no competitor names. Numbers from operational track record, not marketing targets.
| Parameter | Industry typical | N&T | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dust suppression residual duration | 12-24 hours (water only) | 5-7 days (surfactant-based) | +5-7x |
| Water consumption for dust control | Reference baseline | −70% with surfactant program | Substantial savings |
| Flotation reagent variety | Often supplier-locked | Multiple collectors + frothers catalogued | Tuning flexibility |
