Think salt is just for food? Think again. Salt is one of the most widely used industrial raw materials in the world. From factories to farms, salt plays a key role in modern manufacturing. Here’s how.
1. Chemical Industry
Salt is a cornerstone of the chemical industry. It’s used to produce:
- Chlorine and caustic soda: Essential for making PVC, paper, and cleaning agents.
- Sodium carbonate and bicarbonate: Used in glass, soap, and detergent manufacturing.
These products are derived through a process called electrolysis, where pure salt is the primary input.
2. Water Treatment
In both residential and industrial settings, salt is crucial for:
- Water softening: Removes calcium and magnesium ions that cause limescale.
- Dechlorination: Helps neutralize water before safe discharge or reuse.
Water treatment facilities rely on high-purity industrial salt for efficient and safe operation.
3. Textile & Dyeing Industry
In dyeing, salt:
- Helps fix dyes to fabric
- Enhances color absorption
- Controls the ionic strength of dye baths
This ensures uniform coloration and minimizes waste.
4. Agriculture & Animal Feed
Salt provides essential minerals to:
- Livestock (as licks or blocks)
- Soil (in certain irrigation systems)
- Dairy cattle (to aid digestion and milk production)
Our mineral-enriched salt blends are customized to improve animal health and nutrition.
5. De-icing and Snow Removal
Salt is widely used to melt ice on roads and walkways. It lowers the freezing point of water, keeping roads safe in winter.
From chemistry to agriculture, salt is the silent workhorse of industry. Our factory produces a range of salt grades to meet the needs of every sector—with purity, reliability, and bulk options ready to go.
