Siwa salt for winter-maintenance programmes
De-Icing Salt Selected by Particle Size, Moisture and Logistics
For de-icing, commercial performance depends on grading, fines, moisture, storage and seasonal logistics as much as chemistry. Biliton selects Siwa salt around the buyer’s spreading equipment, winter programme and delivery method.
WINTER-MAINTENANCE ROUTE
A winter programme is a grading and logistics decision, not only a chemistry decision.
Spreader compatibility, fines, moisture, storage and delivery windows influence practical de-icing performance. We review those operating details before confirming the supply grade.
COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS
Road, municipal and contractor programmes.
Road and highway de-icing
Municipal winter maintenance
Logistics yards and industrial sites
Compatible airport or contractor programmes subject to approved specification
BEFORE WE QUOTE
Match the salt to the spreading programme.
- 01 Spreading equipment
- 02 Required fine / medium / coarse grading
- 03 Fines and oversize limits
- 04 Seasonal tonnage and delivery schedule
- 05 Bulk / jumbo / bag packing and destination
PRODUCT PARAMETERS
Prioritise grading, fines and moisture.
- 01 NaCl
- 02 Moisture
- 03 Complete particle-size distribution
- 04 Fines and oversize

PACKING & EXPORT
Seasonal packing and logistics built around delivery windows.
Bulk, jumbo bags and bagged supply are reviewed against seasonal volume, storage, handling and logistics route.
TYPICAL SIWA SOURCE ANALYSIS
Reference analysis of the raw Siwa rock-salt source.
Displayed values are the typical Siwa source rock-salt analysis. Final de-icing grading and acceptance limits are confirmed separately for the approved programme.
| Parameter | Typical value | Parameter | Typical value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purity (NaCl) | 99.24% | Moisture | 1.20% |
| Water Insoluble Matter | 0.36% | SO₄ | 0.20% |
| Ca | 0.04% | Mg | 0.06% |
| CaSO₄ | 0.14% | MgSO₄ | 0.13% |
| MgCl₂ | 0.13% | Cu | 0.006% |
| K | 0.008% |
SOURCE SIEVE ANALYSIS — Particle-size distribution of the reference source sample.
| Parameter | Typical value | Parameter | Typical value |
|---|---|---|---|
| +19.0 mm | 0.00% | 12.5–19.0 mm | 3.30% |
| 9.5–12.5 mm | 7.07% | 6.70–9.5 mm | 18.86% |
| 4.75–6.70 mm | 17.52% | 2.36–4.75 mm | 33.16% |
| 1.00–2.36 mm | 17.51% | 0.60–1.00 mm | 2.02% |
| <0.60 mm | 0.56% |
Which de-icing grades are available?
Fine, medium or coarse grades are confirmed against the requested sieve distribution and available screening capability.
Can Biliton support seasonal bulk programmes?
Volume and schedule are planned together with port, packing and delivery windows before commercial confirmation.
