Industrial salt

Industrial salt, also known as rock salt or common salt, is primarily used in various manufacturing and industrial processes rather than for direct consumption. It is mined from underground salt deposits or evaporated from saltwater in large quantities. This type of salt is used in chemical production, de-icing roads, water treatment, textile manufacturing, and food preservation. Unlike table salt, industrial salt often contains impurities and additives suited for these specialized applications. Its large-scale production and diverse uses make it an essential raw material in many industries, contributing to infrastructure, safety, and technological processes.
