METALUB is at the forefront of particle surface chemistry upon which successful flotation depends. This has been achieved by over 15 years of research and development in molecular and surface chemistry, along with feedback from our clients. The strength of our chemistry and process know-how lies in the fact that we can customize solutions to fit each individual deposit. And since the ore varies in composition, we must vary the process and adapt it to each individual case. Therefore, in addition to our standard flotation reagents, we develop tailor-made products in close cooperation with our clients. Our focus is not only to provide highly efficient flotation but also pay attention to supplementary processes f.e easy to use, meet user and environmental regulations.
