AkzoNobel has completed a salt-packing facility at Súria, Spain, through the company's Sal Vesta joint venture (JV) with ICL Iberia, a subsidiary of Israel Chemicals Ltd (ICL). The facility tablets and packs high-purity salt that is a co-product of ICL's nearby potassium mine. AkzoNobel will market and sell the full volume of salt specialties produced, which will allow the company to serve new markets in the Mediterranean region, the company says. Up to 1.5 million metric tons/year (MMt/y) of high-purity vacuum salt will be produced by ICL at the site, using AkzoNobel technology, under a long-term agreement.
