A Nordic municipal road-maintenance authority issued a tender for 3,500
MT of de-icing salt for the 2025/26 winter season. The spec was
EN 16811-1 Type 1 kiln-dried with E535 sodium ferrocyanide anti-caking
≤ 80 ppm, particle size 0/6.3 mm Grade A motorway. Delivery DDP into a
specified inland bonded depot.
- Strict moisture spec — ≤ 1.5% moisture, hard to hit with sea salt
in a single pass; required rock-salt feedstock + kiln-drying
delivery to a 200-km-inland depot, requiring our distribution layer
- Tender language — bid had to translate Egyptian rock-salt
specifications into the EN-16811-1 grade taxonomy precisely
- Source — Siwa Oasis rock-salt mining, run through our Damietta
wash + screen + kiln-dry line
- Anti-caking dosing — 60 ppm E535 (well below the 80 ppm cap),
per-batch lot certificate
- Inspection — SGS PSI at Damietta with grain-size sieve test +
moisture verification + heavy-metal screen
→ inland depot leg with refrigerated trucking (winter conditions)
- Documentation — full L/C bank set + EUR1 preferential origin +
PVoC equivalent for the Nordic destination
"We tendered eight suppliers including three EU-based ones. Egypt Globe was the only one to bid Type 1 spec with explicit ferrocyanide declaration and a DDP price including final-mile. Won on quality match + total landed cost."
