Bulk rock salt wholesale — Siwa Oasis and Qattara Depression halite, guaranteed ≥ 97 % NaCl

Egyptian rock salt is mined from the Siwa Oasis and the Qattara Depression, crystalline halite deposits in the Western Desert that deliver a guaranteed minimum 97.00 % NaCl on the natural mined product with naturally low calcium, magnesium and sulphate. Egypt Globe Group supplies it wholesale across de-icing, industrial, chlor-alkali, oilfield, tanning, food, pharmaceutical and agricultural grades, from run-of-mine lump to vacuum-purified powder, at 240 MT containerised minimum and in vessel parcels to 65,000 MT FOB / CFR / CIF.

Rock salt is distinguished from Egypt Globe Group's North Sinai / Red Sea sea salt on three points relevant to a wholesale buyer: it ships dry without a kiln (1.0–1.5 % natural moisture, ≤ 0.5 % or ≤ 0.25 % kiln-dried on request); its bulk density (1,100–1,400 kg/m³ on lump and coarse grades) loads more tonnes per hold; and its low Ca + Mg makes it the feedstock for the chemical, food and pharmaceutical lines. Distributors that have bought from inconsistent regional mines know the cost of a cargo that assays 95 % against a 97 % contract. Egypt Globe Group's Quality Assurance division has been in place since incorporation in 2014, with on-site laboratories at both mines and QC teams at the loading ports. 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.

Technical specification

Bulk rock salt grades — comparison

NaCl by AOAC 920.179 / ISO 27053; moisture is the natural mined value unless stated; bulk density by ASTM D7263 / EN 1097-3. Full per-SKU limits are on the linked grade hubs.
