US Salt Superior Purified USP Sodium Chloride

Superior Purified USP Sodium Chloride is a high purity, food grade, cubic crystalline Sodium Chloride of variable particle size distribution. This salt is obtained from underground salt deposits by deep well solution mining. The brine is chemically purified, and subsequently, evaporated by the vacuum pan system, under stringent process control, providing the highest purity and minimal insoluble extraneous matter for salt which contains no additives. Superior Purified USP Sodium Chloride meets the most rigid standards of the latest revision of United States Pharmacopeia and can be certified as meeting the latest European and Japanese Pharmacopeia standards. Each lot of Superior Purified USP Sodium Chloride is coded and analyzed to assure that the salt meets the highest quality standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for each shipment.

Storage & Handling

Shelf Life
36 months
Storage Information & Shelf Life

To retard caking, Superior Purified USP Sodium Chloride should be stored in a dry, covered area at relative humidities below 75%. Cycling salt through the 75% relative humidity zone will rapidly increase the onset of caking.
