Himalayan Pink Salt Grades & Technical Specifications
A technical analysis of granulation classes, chemical purity percentages, and food safety standards for industrial salt buyers and food manufacturers.
Authored by Sambit Enterprises Quality Department1. Granulation & Mesh Size Classifications
Industrial processing allows raw rock salt crystal to be sorted into precise particle size ranges to fulfill diverse commercial applications:
| Grade Name | Particle Mesh Size | Primary Applications | Standard Packaging |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extra Fine Salt | 0.1mm – 0.4mm | Snack food coating, popcorn seasoning, pharmaceutical grade | 25kg Kraft Paper Bags |
| Fine Table Salt | 0.5mm – 0.8mm | Retail table shaker, culinary processing, spice manufacturing | 25kg PP Bags / Retail Boxes |
| Coarse Salt | 2.0mm – 5.0mm | Grinder refills, bath salts, meat curing, pickling | 25kg Bags / 1 MT Jumbo Bags |
| Raw Lumps | 50mm – 150mm | Animal lick processing, salt lamp crafting, industrial crushing | 1,000kg FIBC Jumbo Totes |
2. Chemical Purity & Mineral Composition
High-grade pink Himalayan salt mined from Pakistan typically features a Sodium Chloride (NaCl) purity level of 98.0% to 99.2%. The characteristic pink to orange hue stems from naturally trace minerals, including Iron Oxide (Fe), Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), and Magnesium (Mg).
3. HACCP & Food Safety Compliance
Food-grade export shipments undergo optical sorting and rare-earth magnetic separation to eliminate non-mineral debris prior to packaging under strict HACCP protocols.
