About Salt (Industrial)
Industrial salt is sodium chloride produced through mining or evaporation, essential for chlor-alkali processes generating chlorine and caustic soda, de-icing applications, food processing, chemical manufacturing, and water treatment. Internationally traded grades include rock salt (>95% NaCl purity), vacuum-evaporated salt (>99.5% purity for chemical synthesis), and solar salt (>98% purity). Major producers and exporters include China, the United States, India, Germany, and Canada, with significant reserves in salt mines and coastal evaporation facilities. Buyers should verify moisture content and insoluble matter specifications, as these directly impact downstream chemical processes; certificates of analysis confirming chloride purity and contaminant levels are critical for chlor-alkali applications where feedstock quality affects production efficiency and product yields.
