Salt manufacturing & export from Egypt
Egyptian salt, built to specification — from pond to port.
Solven harvests, refines and exports solar sea salt for the chemical, food, water-treatment, de-icing and animal-nutrition industries in more than thirty markets, loading from Damietta, Alexandria, Port Said and Sokhna.

Why Solven
An industrial supplier that understands your plant and your supply chain
We treat salt as a production input with impurity ceilings and a delivery schedule, not as a generic commodity.
Own production base
Solar evaporation fields, washing plant and drying lines under a single operating team — no intermediaries between pond and vessel.
Specification discipline
Every consignment ships with a certificate of analysis against the agreed impurity ceilings, verified by third-party inspection on request.
Freight-side thinking
Bulk, jumbo-bag and containerised options modelled on landed cost, with berth-adjacent stockpiles that avoid demurrage.
Documentation fluency
Certificates of origin, EUR.1, phytosanitary, halal and kosher paperwork prepared in-house to keep clearance predictable.
Products
Six grades, one standard of control
Chemical feedstock
Industrial Solar Salt
Sun-harvested sodium chloride for chlor-alkali electrolysis, soda ash and downstream chemical synthesis. Consistent crystal structure and low insoluble content protect membrane cell performance.
NaCl 98.5% – 99.4% (dry basis)
Refined intermediate
Washed Sea Salt
Brine-washed and centrifuged crystal that removes surface impurities, sulphates and clay fines. Supplied wet or dried according to the buyer's downstream process.
NaCl 99.0% – 99.6%
Food & retail
Refined Food-Grade Salt
Vacuum-washed, dried and screened salt produced under HACCP control, optionally iodised with potassium iodate and treated with an anti-caking agent for free-flow behaviour.
NaCl ≥ 99.6%
Water treatment
Water-Softening Salt
High-purity compacted granules and tablets for ion-exchange resin regeneration in domestic softeners, industrial boilers and desalination pre-treatment.
NaCl ≥ 99.7%
Winter maintenance
De-Icing Road Salt
Coarse, free-flowing crystal for highway and airport winter service, available untreated or coated with an anti-caking and colour-marker treatment for spreader accuracy.
NaCl 96% – 98.5%
Animal nutrition
Livestock Salt & Licks
Pressed blocks and feed-grade granules supporting electrolyte balance in cattle, sheep and camels; available plain or mineral-fortified to customer formulation.
NaCl ≥ 97%

Insight
From the production and export desk

The Quality Window: Why Harvest Timing Decides Salt Purity
Between gypsum saturation and bittern breakthrough sits a narrow density band. Managing it is the difference between 97% and 99.4% NaCl.

Egypt's Salt Corridor: Freight Geography as Competitive Advantage
A cargo loaded in Damietta reaches Northern Europe in nine days and South Asia in twelve. Proximity is a specification in its own right.

Reading a Membrane-Grade Salt Specification Without Getting Burned
NaCl percentage is the least informative number on the certificate. Calcium, magnesium and insolubles decide membrane life.
