The main material of sodium hypochlorite and "84" disinfectant, the salt is also a raw material recommended by the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China for production of front-line disinfectant.

To ensure in-time supply, the company set up a special team to trace the shipment in real time and communicate with the ship owner and the freight forwarder.

The team also contacted the customs and the port before the ship arrived to accelerate import procedures.
