AXIS HOUSE was established in 2001 and is a major supplier and distributor of Chemicals to the mining industry, with clients in RSA, Zambia, Russia, Namibia, Botswana and DRC.  Axis House was established when Central Africa was a challenge within which to operate a mining business.

Axis House has a fully equipped  laboratory in Cape Town, with milling, flotation and analytical equipment, which enables us to accurately benchmark alternate reagent suites against each other.

Our constant monitoring of the world chemical market means we bring fringe reagents to our clients as soon as they become economically viable.

  

AXIS HOUSE will co-sponsor the MEI Flotation 2011Conference to be held at the Vineyard Hotel, Cape Town, South Africa from Monday 14th to Thursday 17th November.

Although now over a hundred years old, the fundamental aspects of flotation are still being intensively researched, and new machines developed. This two day symposium will focus on:

 

  • Fundamental reagent and flotation chemistry
  • Bubbles, froths, bubble-particle interactions
  • Flotation cell hydrodynamics, kinetics and scale-up

 
 
 
 

AXIS HOUSE supplies a full range of mining reagents to mineral processors.  The range includes flotation reagents such as collectors, depressants, froth modifiers and flocculants; Leaching reagents would include pH modifiers, acids, solvent extractants and dilutents.

In 2008, Axis House acquired the hydroxamate business from ASX-listed Ausmelt.  This broadened the company's oxide flotation offer of sulphidisation reagents (and their successful application); modified fatty acids and amines (Rinkalore range) to also include the Ausmelt range of hydroxamate oxide collectors.  This move enabled Axis House to offer a full range of oxide flotation reagents.

Owning the technology allows us to improve  it, which we do in conjunction with our clients and AECI group company IOP.
