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
