Industrial salt in manufacturing – industries & specs

Key industrial uses of sodium chloride: chemicals, tanning, food, power generation. Quality requirements and packaging.

Sodium chloride is a feedstock in dozens of processes. Quality grades vary enormously – from livestock to pharmaceutical-grade salt.

Main applications

  1. Chemicals – chlorine and caustic soda (chlor-alkali process)
  2. Tanning – raw hide preservation
  3. Food – curing, salting, fermentation
  4. Power generation – ion-exchange resin regeneration in boiler loops
  5. Roads – de-icing

What to check in the spec

  • NaCl content (≥ 97% / ≥ 99.5%)
  • Moisture
  • Grain size
  • Iron content (critical for water treatment)
  • Certificates (food-grade / drinking water contact)

Packaging

25 kg / 50 kg bags, 1000 kg big bags, bulk tanker delivery.
