Salt for Industry & Offshore – a reliable raw material for demanding chemical processes
Salt is a key reagent in many industrial and offshore operations. In drilling and completion fluids it regulates density, stabilises shale and limits water uptake in clays, while in smelters it acts as a flux that reduces slag formation. Industrial-grade salt is also used in battery and process plants as well as a fire-retardant additive in specialised blends.

Choosing the correct salt type and grain size ensures stable process control, extends equipment life and lowers operating costs.

Saltimport stocks high-purity, fully traceable industrial salt at coastal terminals across Norway, enabling rapid delivery—whether in bulk, big bags or 25 kg sacks. Our specialists help you select the optimal quality and delivery format for drilling operations, smelting processes or other chemical production.

‍Our products for the offshore and industrial sectors:

‍Potassium Chloride (KCl) – Soluble salt for drilling and completion fluids; acts as an efficient shale stabiliser in water-sensitive clays through ion exchange, keeping cuttings intact and preventing water uptake during drilling.

Salt for Drilling Fuel – Fine-grained, GMP+-certified rock salt that dissolves quickly and is formulated for drilling mud, drilling fuel and other oil-field fluids where reliable density control and hygiene are critical.

Salt for Chemical Industry – High-purity rock salt used as a flux additive in rotary smelters to prevent slag fires; suitable for aluminium, ferro-alloy, mineral and battery production as well as other advanced chemical processes.
