Quality at the Core — how this product is verified
Egypt Globe Group has operated with an internal Quality Assurance division since its 2014 incorporation. Port laboratory — NaCl, Ca, Mg, SO₄, insolubles, moisture and sieve analysis on every lot; CoA issued before B/L. A lot that falls outside its Certificate of Analysis is rejected at the loading port — never re-graded or renegotiated. Independent pre-shipment inspection by TÜV Austria · SGS · Intertek · Bureau Veritas is available on every consignment. Specification is guaranteed at the port of loading and binding under the sales contract.
Mined from Egypt's ancient halite deposits
- Underground rock-salt mines, ancient deposits formed by paleoenvironmental seas
- Crusher → washer → screen → dryer → packing line
- Naturally low moisture (typically < 0.5%) — kiln-drying optional
- Ideal for de-icing, chlor-alkali, drilling fluids, water softening
