Alpha offers a wide range of salt types, each suited to its end use. We deal only with superior salt from trustworthy producers and our customers can rely on us never to supply bad quality salt, however scarce the supply may be.

Top grade salt means smooth running of deicing spreaders and therefore greater cost efficiency.

SALT USAGE

Alpha Commodities offers a wide range of salt products to serve these applications:


Chlor-alkali plants rely on high-purity salt to protect machinery and reduce environmental risks. While purification is costly, inferior salt costs even more.


Spreading machines apply salt or brine before or during winter frost for public safety. Salt is the most common deicer globally due to its availability, cost-effectiveness, ease of use, and efficiency.

Water softening

Granular salt and salt tablets are used in the process of lowering the levels of calcium and magnesium in water to purify it and to lower the negative effects of lime scale in domestic and industrial environments.


Salt is essential in the human diet and a valuable commodity. Common types include cooking salt, table salt, and iodized salt, which helps prevent iodine deficiency. Beyond seasoning, salt aids in food preservation and is vital in moderation.


Salt is a highly important nutritional ingredient in animals' diet and is often supplemented in the form of licking blocks. Salt licking blocks provide essential sodium and chloride, along with other nutrients, which are lacking in their plant based diets.
