Sodium Chloride is a white crystalline solid and one of the most widely used inorganic compounds in the world. Known commonly as salt, it is essential for human and animal nutrition and serves as a key raw material in various industrial processes. In technical applications, it plays a vital role in chemical manufacturing (especially chlor-alkali production), water treatment, textile processing, and drilling operations. In its food-grade form, it enhances flavor, preserves food, and supports electrolyte balance in the body. Non-toxic and stable, it is available in multiple forms such as refined, rock, solar, and vacuum-dried salt.
