Sel Frigon
Industrial salt bulk
A STRATEGIC RAW MATERIAL FOR INDUSTRIAL, MANUFACTURING AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSES
Bulk industrial salt is an essential base input for many industries and infrastructures, both in chemical processing and in water treatment, secondary food processing, metallurgy and technical compound production. It is used as a reagent, catalyst, ion-exchange support, neutralizing agent or mineral filler, depending on the processes involved.
Sel Frigon supplies industrial salt adapted to intensive use, delivered in bulk to facilitate high-volume management, limit logistics costs and ensure supply continuity in continuously operating contexts. The offer is structured to adapt to the varied specifications of industrial environments, with products calibrated for gradation, purity and hygroscopic behaviour.

Bulk Industrial Salt
Technical specifications and consistent quality
Industrial salt is sodium chloride (NaCl) available in different grades: refined, recrystallized, mechanically dried or solar evaporated. It can be offered in fine, medium or coarse form according to the flow and solubility tolerances specific to the customer’s systems.
Purity rates generally exceed 97%, but higher grades (≥99.5%) can be supplied for sensitive or regulated applications.
The presence of anticaking agents is optional and subject to the user’s preferences. In some sectors (e.g., agri-industry, chemical formulation), the absence of any additive is required. Delivered lots are homogeneous, stable in storage and accompanied by laboratory-validated certificates of analysis to guarantee product consistency from one load to another.
Moisture rate, insoluble ash, gradation and apparent density are among the controlled parameters. If needed, compatibility tests with existing processes can be organized.

Industrial uses, processing and environmental processes
Bulk industrial salt is a cross-functional material in many industrial processes. In basic chemistry, it is used to produce chlorine and caustic soda through membrane or diaphragm electrolysis. It is used in the formulation of technical cleaning solutions, the manufacture of halogenated solvents and sludge treatment by selective precipitation.
In the food industry (excluding direct consumption), it is used to stabilize preservation brines, as an osmotic agent in certain dehydration processes, or to neutralize effluents from vegetable washing, dairies or slaughterhouses. In metallurgy, it plays a role in preparing quenching baths, purifying non-ferrous metals or stabilizing mineral waste.
In water treatment, salt is used to regenerate softeners, but also as a reagent in denitrification, pH stabilization or conductivity correction steps. It is also present in the manufacture of filter tablets, in exchange resins or in decarbonation systems.
Secondary uses include industrial detergent formulation, technical ceramic production, pigment and dye synthesis, and the manufacture of technical minerals used in composite materials.

Delivery and storage methods and mechanical compatibility
Sel Frigon delivers bulk industrial salt by dump truck or pneumatic blowing, depending on logistics conditions and receiving site configuration. Product can be poured directly into sealed silos, continuously fed hoppers or semi-open loading areas covered by industrial tarp.
Uniform gradation allows smooth discharge, preventing agglomeration, settling or blockage in mechanical conduits.
The product is compatible with all common handling systems: augers, belt conveyors, gravimetric dosing systems, rotary extractors or liquid injection dosing systems after dissolution. For customers working in batch mode, the salt can be pre-weighed using automated systems interfaced with production modules.
Each delivery is documented (lot number, origin, net weight), and a technical sheet accompanied by a certificate of analysis can be sent electronically at each receipt.

Volume planning and supply logistics
Bulk operation smooths logistics flows, avoids load breaks and optimizes purchase costs by consolidating volumes. Sel Frigon offers supply flexibility adapted to industrial realities: one-off orders, guaranteed-volume contracts, seasonal reservations or threshold-triggered supply via telemetry system.
Well-managed supply not only secures production, but also optimizes storage space use, reduces the number of receiving operations and standardizes working conditions by limiting manual handling.
For multi-site industrial groups, a coordinated delivery plan can be set up to consolidate volumes and optimize routes while respecting the operational constraints specific to each plant.

Integration into compliance and certification protocols
In a regulated industrial environment, every raw material used must be traceable, controlled and compatible with quality procedures in place.
The company can provide compliance documents upon request, including the SDS, certificate of analysis, origin declaration and lot-specific technical sheets. Salt can therefore be integrated into supplier audits, internal control protocols or material traceability ERP software.
Using a consistent-quality industrial product delivered by a stable supplier allows companies to minimize process variations, avoid non-compliance and achieve operational performance objectives without administrative overload.
