Bulk Sodium Chloride NaCl Suppliers
Bulk sodium chloride NaCl suppliers — Egyptian industrial salt in six purity tiers from 94 % raw to ≥ 99.8 % pharmaceutical, including chlor-alkali membrane-cell grade at SO₄ ≤ 0.08 % and PVC grade with iron control. Per-lot CoA, independent inspection, FOB / CFR / CIF from 240 MT.
Bulk sodium chloride (NaCl) suppliers — Egyptian industrial salt by purity tier
Industrial buyers specify sodium chloride by purity tier and controlling impurity, not by trade name. Egypt Globe Group supplies bulk NaCl across six tiers from two Egyptian origins. Siwa Oasis / Qattara Depression rock salt is crystalline halite at a guaranteed ≥ 97.00 % NaCl with naturally low Ca + Mg, the feedstock for standard industrial, brine, tanning, oilfield and — after vacuum purification — pharmaceutical grades. North Sinai / Red Sea sea salt is solar salt at 94–97 % raw, 97.5–98 % washed and ≥ 99.2–99.8 % vacuum-evaporated, the route to low-sulphate chlor-alkali, PVC, textile and USP grades. Supply is from 240 MT containerised to 65,000 MT vessel parcels FOB / CFR / CIF, and as 26 °Bé saturated brine by tanker or ISO tank.
Chlor-alkali and PVC operators run the most demanding specification in the salt trade, and they pay for an inconsistent supplier in membrane life rather than in price. Egypt Globe Group's Quality Assurance division has operated since incorporation in 2014, with on-site 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.

Purity tiers — bulk sodium chloride
Limits are maxima from the representative SKU in each tier; full per-SKU data is on the linked hub. NaCl by ISO 2481 (halogens as Cl); SO₄ turbidimetric; Ca and Mg by ICP; insolubles by ISO 2479.

Chlor-alkali membrane cells — why the SO₄ and Ca + Mg limits are contractual
Membrane-cell electrolysis is sensitive to sulphate, calcium, magnesium and heavy metals in the brine feed; excess loads foul the ion-exchange membrane and shorten its service life. The premium chlor-alkali grade PS-SEA-CHEM-PCA is therefore specified at SO₄ ≤ 0.08 %, Ca ≤ 0.10 %, Mg ≤ 0.03 % and water insolubles ≤ 0.03 %, with heavy metals reported per lot by ICP-MS (ISO 17294-2); the PVC grade adds iron control for the VCM chain. Supplier-selection criteria for membrane-cell salt are set out in the chlor-alkali membrane-cell spec guide.
