Product Profile of Sodium Chloride/ Table Salt

Sodium Chloride/ Table Salt is an ionic compound with equal proportions of sodium and chloride. Sodium Chloride is responsible for the salinity of the ocean and of the extracellular fluid of many multi-cellular organisms. Sodium Chloride is commonly used as a condiment and food preservative. Sodium Chloride/ Table Salt is used to flocculate and increase the density of the drilling fluid to overcome high down-well gas pressures.
