De-icing Salt
De-icing salt's primary use is to melt ice on roads, sidewalks, and driveways by lowering water's freezing point, preventing accidents and improving travel conditions.
It is also used on airport pavements, railways, and trains. Additionally, de-icing salt can be used as a temporary dust control agent and can be found in other industrial applications like brine mixes and concrete, although these are different from its de-icing function.
Raw Rock Salt
Raw salt has uses in cooking and food preservation, industrial processes, agriculture, and health and beauty applications.
It’s uses range from providing flavour and preserving food to being a key ingredient in chemical manufacturing and water treatment. It's also used in agriculture for livestock feed and soil conditioning, and in cosmetic products and alternative medicine.
Industrial and chemical
- Chemical production: Used as a raw material to produce chlorine, caustic soda, and other chemicals through electrolysis.
- Water treatment: Helps regenerate ion exchange resins in water softening systems.
- Manufacturing: A component in the production of glass, paper, and textiles.
- De-icing: Used to melt ice and snow on roads during winter.
- Firefighting: The principal extinguishing agent in dry-powder fire extinguishers for combustible metal fires (Class D).
Food and agriculture
- Flavouring and preservation: Enhances the flavour of food and is used for preserving meats, vegetables, and pickles.
- Livestock feed: Added to livestock feed to supply essential minerals.
- Soil conditioning: Used in agriculture to supply minerals to the soil and manage alkalinity.
Health and beauty
- Cosmetics: Included in body scrubs, bath salts, and facial washes to exfoliate skin and detoxify pores.
- Alternative medicine: Used in steam therapy, salt rooms, and salt inhalations.
- Skin and muscle relief: Salt baths can help soothe skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, relieve muscle soreness, and promote relaxation.
Cleaning
- Household cleaning: Can be used to clean stains from mugs, and with other ingredients, helps clear blocked drains.
- Disinfecting: Used to clean fish tanks to remove hard water deposits.
- Stain removal: A solution of salt and water can be used to remove perspiration and other stains from fabrics.
Primarily as a high-purity source of sodium chloride for the chemical industry to produce chlorine and caustic soda, and for the pharmaceutical industry to create saline solutions.
It also serves as a vital component in water treatment, glass and paper manufacturing, and textile dyeing due to its purity and consistent, uniform form.
Table Salt
Table salt, also known as common salt or kitchen salt, is used during cooking or even directly added while taking food. It is a type of refined salt used throughout the world.
Salt Tablets
Table salt tablets are not a food-grade product.
Rather, they refer to salt tablets used in water softening to regenerate the resins in water purifiers and dispensers.
These tablets are used to reduce lime scale deposits in devices, improving their efficiency and extending their life.
They are essential for power plants, hospitals, laundries, hotels, and even homes.
How do salt tablets work?
Salt tablets are placed in a water softener.
These tablets regenerate the ion exchange resins in the water purification process. They help remove lime scale from water, protecting equipment from damage and reducing energy consumption.
When are they used? Salt tablets are used in many applications, including:
- Home water purification: to protect devices from lime scale and provide purified water.
- Power plants: to ensure the efficiency of steam and thermal water purification systems. Hotels, hospitals, and laundries: to reduce lime scale build up in pipes and equipment – in dialysis units.
Important Note:
These tablets are different from the regular salt we use in cooking. They are intended for industrial use and to prevent deposits, not for direct food consumption.
Vacuum Salt
Vacuum salt is a highly pure, refined salt used in a wide range of applications, from food processing and chemical manufacturing to water treatment and de-icing.
Its purity and consistency make it ideal for products where impurities are not acceptable, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and specific chemical reactions.
For the food industry
- Flavour and Preservation: Enhances flavour in a variety of products like baked goods, processed meats, and cheeses. It also acts as a preservative, particularly in curing meats and pickles.
- Consistent Purity: Its high purity prevents unwanted impurities from affecting the flavour or safety of processed foods.
- Processing Aid: Used as a processing aid, or flavouring, in everything from seasonings and sauces to soups and snacks.
- Chemical Manufacturing: Serves as a raw material for producing chemicals like chlorine and caustic soda. Its high purity ensures more efficient and higher-quality chemical reactions.
