FLOMIN™ SAP
Anti-Clogging Agent for Sticky & Muddy Ores

FLOMIN™ SAP is a superabsorbent anti-clogging agent that rapidly captures surface moisture and disrupts capillary bonding in wet, sticky ores, improving flowability and handling efficiency while stabilizing crushing, screening, and dry processing performance.

Product Overview
What is FLOMIN™ SAP designed for?

FLOMIN SAP is specifically designed for mining applications.
Each commercial reference is based on a dedicated formulation developed by our R&D experts to ensure consistent polymer behavior and reliable performance.

Application
Where / How FLOMIN™ SAP is typically used

FLOMIN™ SAP is used across mining operations where moisture-induced stickiness compromises handling, dry processing, or safety. It supports ore handling operations such as loading, unloading, stacking, blending, and reclaiming, where ore stickiness cause operational disruptions.

In dry processing circuits, FLOMIN™ SAP stabilizes crushing, screening, and dry separation steps, including magnetic separation, by preventing clogging under rainy conditions. It is also applied as a liquefaction risk mitigation solution for bulk cargo transportation, increasing transportable moisture limit improving material stability during transport and stockpiling.

By attracting and immobilizing water within the FLOMIN SAP grains, it prevents moisture from binding mineral fines together during freezing conditions, limiting bulk solidification and preserving good ore flowability. This mechanism enables safer operations, sustained throughput, and reduced reliance on water- or energy-intensive alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about FLOMIN™ SAP

FLOMIN™ SAP is a superabsorbent polymer-based anti-clogging agent Technology designed to improve the handling and dry processing of sticky and muddy ores.

It rapidly absorbs ore moisture and disrupts particle bonding, creating an apparent drying effect that restores free-flowing behavior without thermal drying.

It is applied during ore handling and dry processes affected by high moisture or clay content.

By avoiding energy-intensive drying, and limiting mechanical interventions, FLOMIN™ SAP improves process efficiency, safety and reduces maintenance.

Easier mine planning and more stable and safer handling and processing operations, higher throughput during rainy conditions, reduced downtime.
