Potassium Amyl Xanthate (PAX) is available in the form of yellowish or pale-grey crystals or in the form of free-flowing powder in the purest state. PAX is also available in the form of a solution. PAX is highly water-soluble and emits a slightly unpleasant odor that is similar to that of carbon disulfide or that of decaying cabbage. Another property of PAX is the absorption of moisture from air i.e., hygroscopic nature.
