Salt

Salt (sodium chloride) exists in various forms and has many different uses within the chemical industry. It is naturally found in seawater and underground rock formations, where the sodium chloride is obtained by mining deposits or through evaporation processes.

The appearance of salt is a white crystalline odourless solid. It is readily soluble in water with a melting point of 801°c and a boiling point of 1413°c.

Beyond the most common use as table salt to flavour, or even preserve foods, this product has a number of valuable uses throughout multiple industries from intravenous salt solutions used in hospitals through to its uses as a de-icing agent.

Salt solution is also an excellent conductor of electricity and lends itself well to numerous industrial applications. A large proportion of salt sold in the UK also goes to the manufacturing industry where it is used in the production of various products from paper and plastic to soap and detergent.
