Bulk industrial salt — Siwa / Qattara rock salt and Sinai / Red Sea sea salt for process use
Industrial sodium chloride is bought on three numbers: NaCl content, the Ca + Mg + SO₄ impurity load, and moisture. Egypt Globe Group supplies both Egyptian sources. Siwa Oasis and Qattara Depression rock salt is crystalline halite mined at a guaranteed ≥ 97.00 % NaCl with naturally low calcium and magnesium, shipped as run-of-mine lump, extra-coarse, coarse or medium grain at 1.0–1.5 % natural moisture (kiln-dried to ≤ 0.5 % / ≤ 0.25 % on request). North Sinai (El-Arish / Bardawil) and Red Sea (Ain Sokhna) sea salt is solar-evaporated at 94–97 % NaCl raw, washed to 97.5–98 %, and vacuum-evaporated to ≥ 99.2–99.5 % for chlor-alkali, PVC, textile and drilling-fluid grades where sulphate or iron is the controlling impurity.
Seventeen SKUs cover chlor-alkali and PVC feedstock, water treatment, oilfield drilling mud and workover brine, hide preservation and leather tanning, and reactive-dye textile salt, from 240 MT containerised to 65,000 MT vessel parcels FOB / CFR / CIF. Membrane-cell operators and tanneries both learn the same lesson from inconsistent regional exporters: one off-spec lot costs more than a year of price advantage. Egypt Globe Group has run a Quality Assurance division since incorporation in 2014, with laboratories at the mines and saltworks and QC teams at every port. Specification is guaranteed at the port of loading and binding under the sales contract; a lot outside its CoA is rejected at the port, never re-graded or renegotiated.
