Salt & Minerals
Export-grade salt naturally extracted from seawater brine, delivering consistent quality for global electrochemical and industrial processes.
Salt & Minerals
Archean Chemical Industries is India’s leading producer and exporter of industrial-grade salt, extracted from natural seawater brine at the Hajipir facility in Bhuj Taluk, Kutch, Gujarat. With over a decade of operational experience and a 6 million metric tons annual capacity, Archean delivers high-purity salt to electrochemical manufacturers, chlor-alkali producers, and industrial processors worldwide. Industrial salt (sodium chloride) serves as the foundational raw material for caustic soda, chlorine, and soda ash production. It also functions as essential feedstock for glass manufacturing, steel processing, water treatment, and diverse chemical synthesis applications.
Archean’s Grade 1 industrial salt meets international electrochemistry specifications, ensuring optimal performance in membrane cell and diaphragm cell operations. The salt is produced through proven solar evaporation technology at Hajipir Plant, requiring minimal thermal energy and creating cost efficiency and sustainability advantages. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality testing for purity, mineral composition, and particle size distribution, ensuring consistency across all production campaigns.
From feedstock procurement through washing, processing, classification, and port delivery, Archean maintains complete operational control, ensuring supply reliability that global chemical manufacturers depend on for uninterrupted production. The company delivers high-purity salt meeting international standards for industrial electrochemistry applications.
