Industrial Grade Salt By Hindustan Salts Limited

Different varieties of Industrial & Edible Grade Salt have been categorised as Kyar, Reshta & Pan Salt.

Kyar Salt:
It is hard bold crystal variety. Due to its high purity levels it is extremely suitable for the Chlor-Alkali Industry. In the edible category it has virtually monopolised its usage in the manufacture of black salt. This salt is also extensively used in storing ice.

Reshta Salt:
The wind movement over the surface of Kyar Salt Pans egularly sprays water on their margins where salt dries out in the form of a fine white powder and steadily accumulates. This salt is chemically at par with kyar salt but since it is powdery in nature, it has high solubility and is, therefore, ideal for the purpose of water softening in Thermal Power Stations. Some of our prestigious customers are NTPC, DVB and Electricity Board.

Pan Salt:
This variety is primarily used for edible purposes. It is granular and relatively more white in appearance than Kyar and Reshta Salt. When rough crushed, this product has a ready market in Bihar, West Bengal and the Eastern States.

Apart from the above the Company is also manufacturing High Purity salt in bulk packing. This product is the basic raw material for IP Grade Salt for pharmaceutical applications.

In general, the salt produced at Sambhar Lake is of low Calcium and Magnesium contents thus has low hardness as compared to Marine Salt. Salt with low hardness is one of the desirable requirement of industries.
