Pharmaceutical-grade sodium chloride — USP / BP / EP NaCl from Siwa rock salt and Red Sea sea salt
Pharmacopoeial sodium chloride is not a purity tier of industrial salt; it is a separate product with its own monograph tests, controlled storage and a retained sample for every lot. Egypt Globe Group supplies four SKUs. Siwa Oasis and Qattara Depression rock salt — crystalline halite with naturally low calcium, magnesium and sulphate — is the feedstock for the EP injection-grade powder (≥ 99.85 % NaCl) and the USP / BP ultra-pure powder (≥ 99.50 %). Red Sea and North Sinai sea salt, vacuum-evaporated, supplies the USP saline-grade powder (≥ 99.80 %) and the fine pharmaceutical crystal (≥ 99.50 %). All four are produced without anti-caking agents and without iodisation.
End uses are IV saline and dialysis concentrate manufacture, oral rehydration salts, API synthesis and hospital sterilisation. Supply is in 25 kg sealed pharma-grade bags (1 MT FIBC on the fine crystal), 240 MT containerised minimum, 4–8 weeks lead time under GMP conditions. Manufacturers who have qualified a regional supplier on a clean audit lot and then received a lot with 150 ppm sulphate understand why Egypt Globe Group's Quality Assurance division has been at the nucleus of the group since 2014. 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.
