salt

 Salt is an important basic material which is used when drilling for other natural basic materials such as crude oil and natural gas, for example, in the drilling muds. The requirements of the drilling industry are high and very specific so that, depending on demand, either rock or vacuum salt in various qualities is used.In the oil industry, salt is used to increase the density of mud and soil, which creates a more safe and efficient drilling rig. Although salt may not be used extensively in off-shore drilling, enormous amounts of salt are required to facilitate drilling on land.

Chemical production relies heavily on salt as well, as industrial salt is used as a filler for detergents and solvents, causing the chemical to be more rapidly dissolved in water. Since salt separates many of the components required for making soap, chemical industries include large amounts of industrial salt in the process of making soap.

Solar ponds and other energy producing facilities require large amounts of salt to maintain a necessary salinity, adding to the application of industrial salt as an energy producer.

Since salt is relatively cheap, available in large quantities in South America and Africa, rock salt and industrial salt come into increasing demand with increased availability of solar energy.

Clearly, industrial salt has widespread application, which means increased demand over time. Although industrial salt may not be the worlds rarest resource, its high demand for safety and manufacturing purposes means that salt prices will continue to fluctuate for the foreseeable future. In order to ensure a flowing salt pipeline, most industrial salt consumers are considering salt from a variety of global sources
