OTHER INDUSTRIES
Salt is used in a wide variety of industrial applications such pharmaceutical, plastic, glass, tires, paper, metals, aluminum ... and even in oil and gas drilling
Pharmaceutical industry:
Salt is a key basic substance in the pharmaceutical and medical industry. It is used in physiological or isotonic salt solutions (dialysis, infusions …), healthcare products and drugs. For patient safety, the pharmaceutical industry requires high purity salts, without additives, prepared in a carefully controlled environment with strict quality controls. GSC has all the expertise to strictly meet the needs of the most demanding pharmaceutical and medical legislations.
Miscellaneous industries:
Sodium chloride is one of the largest inorganic raw materials used by volume for various manufacturing and industrial processes. It is used in processing aluminium, beryllium, copper, steel and vanadium as well as plastics, paper pulp and many other products. In rubber manufacture, salt is used to make buna, neoprene and white rubber types. In oil and gas exploration, salt is an important component of drilling fluids in well drilling. It is used to flocculate and increase the density of the drilling fluid to overcome high downwell gas pressures.
