Rock salt

More than 250 million years ago, large parts of Europe were covered by the so-called Zechstein Sea - a huge, salt-laden inland sea. Earth displacement and sedimentation by alluvial layers of soil ensured that a precious layer of salt lies deep underground today. Our high-quality rock salt is marketed under the premium brand Saldoro.

Sea salt

Heat, sun, wind and dryness are important climatic conditions for sea salt extraction. The sea water is channeled into shallow basins and dries out naturally and slowly thanks to climatic factors. What remains are salt crystals that are harvested. Depending on the production process or location, the sea salt is usually washed and dried during further processing.

Vacuum salt

For the production of vacuum salt, the salty water from salt mines, the so-called brine, is evaporated. The brine is boiled in large, closed containers, where the water evaporates and salt crystals form. The resulting salt slurry is skimmed off, and the vacuum salt obtained is dried, sieved and further processed into our K+S vacuum salts.

Water treatment

Salts for soft water

Water treatment

Hard water can damage appliances: for example, limescale deposits reduce heating performance or impair the functions of fittings. Water softeners and AXAL PRO salt products ensure trouble-free operation. Benefit from the numerous advantages of soft water.

Dishwashing salt

Dishwasher salt is used to renew the resin in the dishwasher's ion exchanger so that it can soften the water. This increases the cleaning performance, which ensures brilliant washing results and protects the dishwasher from limescale deposits.

De-icing salt

Salts for safe sidewalks and roads

De-icing salt

K+S de-icing salt is a particularly pure and effective mixture of high-purity fine and coarse salt crystals. While the fine crystals ensure an immediate thawing effect, the coarser crystals guarantee the necessary long-term effect on thicker layers of ice and snow.
