Industrial salts, or sodium chloride, is a white crystalline solid manufactured using seawater and rock salt deposits. It is conventionally produced by mining, vacuum evaporation, and solar evaporation processes. Industrial salt finds a wide range of applications in chemical processing, de-icing, water treatment, and farming. In the oil and gas industry, it is utilized in cleaning oil and gas wells to improve soil and mud density and create an efficient and safe drilling rig. It is also employed in the manufacturing of glass, polyester, tires, case-hardened steel and brass, and leather.
The global industrial salts market is primarily driven by its growing demand as a key raw material for producing caustic soda, chlorine and soda ash. Various water treatment projects across the globe also employ industrial salt for water softening and purification. Besides this, industrial salt is widely utilized in the paper and pulp industry for washing, bleaching, neutralization, and pulping wastepaper as it is cheaper than natural salt. Moreover, industrial salt is used to remove ice and snow from roads for creating a safe and clean driving surface. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is utilized for producing saline solutions and manufacturing capsules. Furthermore, industrial salt is extensively used in the chlor-alkali sector as a filler in detergents and solvents due to the lack of a suitable economic substitute, easy availability in large quantities, and cost-effectiveness.
