Industrial Salt refers to high-purity sodium chloride intended for non-food industrial applications. It is a key raw material for chlorine and caustic soda production, a regenerant for water softeners, a processing aid in textile dyeing and dairy equipment cleaning, and is used in hide preservation and de-icing.
Key Characteristics & Benefits:
High Chemical Purity: Meets specifications for industrial processes, free from additives common in food-grade salt.
Essential Chlor-Alkali Feedstock: The primary material for electrolytic production of chlorine, caustic soda, and hydrogen.
Water Softening Regenerant: Used to recharge ion-exchange resin beds that remove water hardness.
Versatile Processing Aid: Used in textile dye baths, hide curing, and dairy sanitation.
