Bulk industrial salt for brine systems, leather processing, and chlor-alkali feedstock supply. It is used in hide preservation and the pickling stage of leather production, as brine for ion-exchange regeneration, and as a feedstock for chlor-alkali production.
▸Leather processing: Preserves hides and supports the pickling stage.
▸Brine and water treatment: Regenerates ion-exchange resins.
▸Chlor-alkali feedstock: Source salt for chlorine and caustic soda production.
▸De-icing: Used for road and surface de-icing.

Safety & Handling
Full SDS available on request
A grade-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) — with the complete hazard classification, handling precautions, and transport information — is supplied with every shipment and available on request. Confirm all safety and regulatory details against the SDS for your specific grade.
Sodium chloride (CAS 7647-14-5, NaCl) is supplied as industrial-grade salt for bulk chemical and processing applications. It is used in hide preservation and the pickling stage of leather production, as brine for ion-exchange regeneration, and as a feedstock for chlor-alkali production.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is sodium chloride used for?
Industrial-grade sodium chloride (CAS 7647-14-5, NaCl) is used in hide preservation and the pickling stage of leather production, as brine for ion-exchange resin regeneration in water treatment, as a feedstock for chlor-alkali (chlorine and caustic soda) production, and for road and surface de-icing.
Is sodium chloride the same as salt?
Yes. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is the chemical name for salt. We supply industrial-grade NaCl for bulk processing applications rather than food or table use; the grade and specification are documented on the CoA.
What is the chemical formula for sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride is NaCl (CAS 7647-14-5), classified under HS 2501.00 (salt and pure sodium chloride). These identifiers appear on the CoA and customs documentation.
Is sodium chloride water soluble?
Yes. Sodium chloride is highly water-soluble, which is the basis for its use as brine in ion-exchange regeneration and as a chlor-alkali feedstock. Solubility and brine-strength data are available on the SDS and on request.
How is industrial sodium chloride supplied and priced in bulk?
We supply industrial-grade salt in bulk quantities with CoA and SDS per lot for leather, water-treatment, chlor-alkali, and de-icing applications. Pricing depends on grade, packaging, and volume; request a bulk quote for current pricing and lead time.
