Product Description
Industrial Salt (Also Known as Rock Salt or De-Icing Salt)
Product Description:
Industrial Salt is a high-purity salt commonly used across various industries, including chemical manufacturing, water treatment, de-icing, and more. It is extracted from natural rock deposits or through evaporating seawater and is processed to meet the specific requirements of industrial applications. Our Industrial Salt is free from impurities and comes in different grades and particle sizes for diverse use cases.
Key Features:
High Purity: Made with minimal impurities for industrial use.
Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of industries, including water treatment, chemical processing, de-icing, and more.
Cost-Effective: Competitive pricing for large-scale industrial use.
Safe Handling: Does not contain harmful substances for industrial purposes.
Chemical Composition of Industrial Salt for Different Industries
| Industry | Component | Typical Purity | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chemical | Sodium Chloride (NaCl) | 99% | Production of caustic soda, chlorine, and soda ash. |
| Textile/Dyeing | Sodium Chloride (NaCl) | 98-99% | Fixing dyes and finishing fabrics. |
| Oil Drilling | Sodium Chloride (NaCl) | 96-98% | Mud preparation to improve drilling efficiency. |
| Water Treatment | Sodium Chloride (NaCl) | 97-99% | Softening water and maintaining pH balance. |
| Food Processing | Sodium Chloride (NaCl) | 99.5% (Non-iodized) | Food preservation and seasoning. |
| Component | Purity Range | Typical Composition | Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sodium Chloride (NaCl) | 96% – 99.9% | 98.5% – 99.5% | Used in chemical processes, water softening, and de-icing. |
| Moisture Content | <0.5% | 0.05% – 0.2% | Prevents caking and ensures stability. |
| Calcium (Ca) | <0.2% | 0.02% – 0.1% | Important for water softening. |
| Magnesium (Mg) | <0.1% | 0.01% – 0.05% | Low levels are common in refined types. |
| Sulfates (SO₄²⁻) | <0.1% | 0.05% – 0.08% | Affects purity, lower content is preferred. |
| Insoluble Matter | <0.03% | 0.01% – 0.03% | Ensures high quality, minimal residue. |
| Iodine Content | 0% (Non-iodized) | 0% | Typically non-iodized for industrial use. |

Used in water softening processes to remove calcium and magnesium ions from water.
Common in both municipal and industrial water treatment plants.
De-Icing and Anti-Skid Treatments:
Effective for melting snow and ice on roads, highways, and sidewalks during winter months.
Helps prevent accidents by reducing slippery surfaces.
Chemical Manufacturing:
Essential in the production of chlorine, caustic soda, and other chemicals.
Used in various industrial chemical processes.
Food Processing:
In some cases, food-grade industrial salt is used in food processing, though this may be subject to specific regulations.
Oil Drilling:
Used in oil field operations, including drilling fluids and other oil extraction processes.
