Product Description

The raw salt we mine in Siwa Oasis and Qattara Depression in Egypt west desert was deposited a very long time ago as a result of seawater evaporation. This layer of salt has been neglected for many years until we started to deal with it. The salt is covered by a thin layer of sand and by using a crawler excavator, we remove that thin layer of sand and get to the salt. This layer of salt extends from 3 meters in thickness to more than 6 meters in thickness in some areas. The extracted salt mainly comes white in appearance and we also use the excavators to wash the salt in its brine water to get the Salt white. 
 
Siwa Salt is principally known and recognized for its low moisture content (ranging from 0.4% to 1.0%) and its exceptionally high purity of Sodium Chloride of *9.*6% minimum.
 
 
Salt is the ideal de-icing material because:

• Prevents and melts ice and snow quickly.

• The least expensive de-icer.

• Low environmental impact in production, when used and stored properly.

• Highly efficient, only need a relatively low rate of application.

• Easy to store and handle.

• Easy to spread.

• Non-toxic and harmless to skin and clothing.

• Widely-occurring and readily available
