CheMost supplies upstream components for mining applications — emulsifier components for licensed emulsion-explosive manufacturers, plus EP additives and PIB tackifiers for the open gears, ropes and bearings of draglines, shovels and crushers. We do not supply finished explosives, blasting services or flotation packages.
Four Chemistry Domains in Mining Chemical Supply
Mining chemicals span emulsion manufacture, mineral processing and heavy-equipment lubrication. Each area has distinct performance requirements, evaluation methods and regulatory constraints.
Upstream components, not finished explosives or flotation packages
CheMost supplies emulsion-explosive emulsifier components and the EP and tackiness additives used in mining-equipment lubricants. Final explosive formulation, manufacturing and regulatory compliance remain with the licensed manufacturer and operator.
Emulsion Explosive Manufacturing
Water-in-oil emulsifier systems stabilise the oxidiser phase inside the fuel-oil matrix. Grade-level comparison belongs in the explosives emulsifier catalog.
Froth Flotation Reagents
Collector, frother and modifier chemistry is background context only; CheMost does not supply flotation reagent packages.
Grinding Aid Chemistry
Grinding-aid chemistry is background context only; CheMost does not supply grinding-aid blends.
Mining Equipment Lubrication
Sulfurized EP additives and high-MW PIB tackifiers support open-gear, wire-rope and heavy-grease duties in mining equipment.
Where Mining Chemistry Fails
Emulsion stability belongs to the licensed explosive manufacturer’s formulation and process controls. Equipment-lubricant performance depends on keeping an EP- and tack-treated film on heavily loaded gears, ropes and bearings.

Application Requirements by Mining Sector
| Sector | Application | CheMost role |
|---|---|---|
| Emulsion explosive manufacturing | bulk, packaged and heavy-ANFO systems | explosives emulsifier components |
| Froth flotation and grinding | mineral separation and mill throughput | background only — not supplied |
| Mining equipment | open gear, wire rope and bearings | EP additives · PIB tackifiers |
CheMost Components for Mining Applications
Explosives Emulsifier Components
The category page compares the polymeric and co-emulsifier roles used by licensed emulsion-explosive manufacturers.
View Explosives Emulsifiers →EP Additives for Mining Equipment
Sulfurized EP additives support open-gear compounds and heavy gear oils under slow-speed, high-load mining duties.
View EP Additives →PIB Tackifiers for Mine Equipment Grease
High-MW PIB tackifiers add adhesion and fling-off resistance in open-gear and wire-rope lubricants.

Grade-level selection belongs in the explosives emulsifier catalog; this industry hub only routes buyers to that technical comparison.
How Mining Components Are Evaluated
| Component family | Evaluation focus |
|---|---|
| Explosives emulsifier system | emulsion stability and process compatibility, confirmed by the licensed manufacturer |
| EP additive | load-carrying and copper-corrosion data on the product TDS |
| PIB tackifier | adhesion and fling-off resistance in the finished lubricant |
“We confirm each supplied component against its data sheet. The licensed manufacturer confirms emulsion performance in its own matrix, while lubricant formulators confirm EP and tack performance in the finished product.”
CheMost technical team
- Batch COA against the grade TDS with every shipment
- Third-party inspection coordination on request
- Finished-system qualification remains with the manufacturer
Treat Rates Depend on the Finished System
Explosives-emulsifier treat rates belong on the product TDS and must be confirmed in the licensed manufacturer’s matrix. EP and tackifier levels likewise depend on the finished lubricant and target test result.
Use the treat-rate calculator only after selecting a product and obtaining its confirmed starting range.
Components for Mining
For emulsion-explosive manufacturing, use the explosives emulsifier catalog. For equipment lubrication, use the EP additive and tackifier categories.
CheMost supplies upstream components, not finished explosives, blasting services, flotation reagent packages or grinding-aid blends.
Why CheMost — Clear Scope, Documented Data
We state what we can document and what we supply. Grade data comes from each product’s supplier TDS; where a value is not confirmed for a grade we mark it “on request” rather than estimate. The chemistry and test methods on this page are public references — not CheMost claims of ownership. CheMost supplies emulsifier and lubrication components, not finished explosives, blasting services or flotation reagent packages; final explosive formulation, manufacturing and regulatory compliance rest with the licensed operator in the destination country. What we provide is documented component chemistry, backed by batch COA, optional SGS testing and treat-rate support.
This industry hub routes emulsion-explosive buyers to the explosives emulsifier catalog and mining-equipment formulators to the Additive Components range. For the other specialty markets see Fuel, Metalworking and Oilfield.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does CheMost supply finished explosives or flotation reagents?
No. CheMost supplies upstream emulsifier components and mining-equipment lubricant additives. Final explosive formulation, manufacturing and regulatory compliance remain with the licensed manufacturer and operator.
Where are emulsion-explosive emulsifier grades compared?
Use the explosives emulsifier catalog for product families and the linked application product page for grade-level comparison.
What is the difference between ANFO and an emulsion explosive?
ANFO is a dry ammonium-nitrate/fuel-oil blend. Emulsion explosives use a water-in-oil matrix; the licensed manufacturer selects and qualifies the emulsifier system for its process and storage requirements.
What documentation is available?
Available documents depend on the selected component and shipment. Request the product TDS, SDS and batch COA during evaluation; third-party inspection can be coordinated on request.
Tell us the emulsion system or equipment duty
We will route the request to the explosives-emulsifier catalog or the relevant EP and tackifier product data, then provide the available documentation and sample options.
