Industrial Salt by Südwestdeutsche Salzwerke AG
Industrial salt for electrolysis
Industrial salt is a strategic raw material in the chemical industry. Especially for large-scale electrolysis, which uses salt (NaCl), water (H2O) and electricity to produce intermediate products such as chlorine (Cl2), caustic soda (NaOH) and hydrogen (H).
Industrial salt is at the very beginning of an extensive value chain and is the basis for more than 10,000 downstream products in the aluminum, automotive, glass, paint, cosmetics, plastics, pharmaceutical, detergent, textile .... Industry.
One of these downstream products is, for example, PVC - the universal plastic for pipes, flooring, windows, but also blood bags, "rubber boots" and tents.
Südwestdeutsche Salzwerke AG has accompanied the chemical industry since its beginnings and has grown with these companies and their increasing requirements. The know-how gained from more than 150 years of cooperation can be expressed in one sentence: "Competence in salt".
We demonstrate this competence every day as an efficient and reliable system supplier. Our industrial salt is based on carefully controlled extraction and preparation processes and is therefore available in consistently high quality.
