Raw and washed halite, graded 0–12 cm.

Two grades from the same Siwa deposit: raw rock salt for road deicing and bulk industry, and washed salt where the process needs a cleaner feed.

Grade 01

Raw rock salt

Rock salt extracted from our mines at the Siwa Oasis, located in the Western Desert of Egypt, then crushed to a 0–12 cm range and supplied as a deicing product.

Deicing of roads has always been done with sodium chloride spread by purpose-built equipment, and a pure deicing salt is the cleanest solution for highways and private properties. Our product carries the right proportion of both fine and coarse grain — diameters from roughly 1 mm to 12.5 mm — so it takes effect quickly and stays active. Available in bulk loads, including for large surface areas and industrial applications.

  • PurityGreater than 98% sodium chloride
  • Moisture contentLess than 1%
  • Crushed size0–12 cm
  • Effective grain≈ 1 mm – 12.5 mm
