Bulk Rock Salt for Deicing — Highway, Motorway, Municipal
Bulk Egyptian rock salt for deicing — Siwa + Qattara mined, 97%+ NaCl, ≤1.5% natural moisture. 12 SKUs across EU / UK / US / Nordic / GOST standards + pre-wetted variants, per-lot CoA before B/L.
Bulk rock salt for deicing — highway, motorway, municipal
12 deicing rock salt SKUs in stock — Siwa Oasis + Qattara Depression mines, 97%+ NaCl natural purity, low ≤1.5% moisture out of the mine. Siwa Oasis crystalline rock salt is the high-purity source of the group; for road use it is crushed and screened to the regional sieve band without kiln-drying, which keeps the delivered cost below dried sea salt in most EU, UK, US and CIS tenders.
Rock salt tenders fail most often on moisture creep and fines after a change of mine face. EGG's on-site laboratories at both mines assay every production lot, and the port-side QC team repeats NaCl, moisture and sieve analysis before the Certificate of Analysis is issued and the B/L released. Lots outside the CoA are rejected at the loading port — zero tolerance on specification deviation.
