Sodium Chloride (NaCl)

Formula: NaCl GOST/CAS: CAS 7647-14-5

Sodium chloride (industrial salt) is a vital chemical compound appearing as colorless crystals or a white crystalline powder. In the industrial sector, the product is valued for its high purity, excellent water solubility, and versatility. Due to its physicochemical properties, sodium chloride serves as a primary raw material for the chemical industry, as well as an indispensable component in water treatment processes and the production of de-icing agents.

Applications

Chemical Industry: The primary raw material for producing caustic soda, chlorine, sodium hypochlorite, and metallic sodium.
Water Treatment: Used in water softening units to regenerate ion-exchange resins in boiler houses and industrial filtration systems.
Road Maintenance: Applied as an effective de-icing agent to prevent ice formation on road surfaces.
Metallurgy and Tanning: Used in chlorinating roasting processes, metal quenching, and the processing and preservation of raw hides.

Key Advantages

High Efficiency: Provides rapid reactions in chemical processes and effective ice melting at low temperatures.
Versatility: Suitable for use in a wide range of industries, from household chemical production to oil extraction (for drilling fluids).
Environmental Safety: When dosage standards are observed, it is a safe mineral compound that does not emit toxic fumes.
Consistent Quality: The product features a uniform particle size distribution and minimal foreign impurities.
