Salt

Look around you. Chances are, at least five things in your line of sight wouldn’t exist without salt.

The screen you’re reading this on. The paper in your notebook. The PVC in your flooring. The paint on your walls. Even the glass in your windows. All rely on industrial salt to be produced.

Often overlooked, salt is one of the most essential inputs in modern manufacturing. It plays a quiet but critical role in over 10,000 industrial applications.

It is also at the forefront of the energy transition as a critical mineral in the development of emerging clean technologies, including solar panels and battery systems.

While lithium-ion batteries have been at the centre of the electric vehicle movement, there is growing interest in sodium-ion battery technology, which has the potential to charge faster and last longer.

Industrial salt is a versatile commodity, integral to the success of many businesses, and that’s why the demand for salt continues to grow worldwide.
