Explore our foundational range of highly stable salts optimized for high-temperature heat transfer, sensible thermal energy storage, and industrial-grade applications.
As the global transition toward renewable energy accelerates, Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) and Thermal Energy Storage (TES) have emerged as critical technologies for stabilizing electrical grids. Molten salts—primarily binary mixtures of 60% sodium nitrate ($NaNO_3$) and 40% potassium nitrate ($KNO_3$)—represent the state-of-the-art heat transfer fluid (HTF) and storage medium. These salts exhibit a wide liquid operating window, high thermal conductivity, and high heat capacity, enabling massive thermal storage capacities to bridge the gap during periods when solar radiation is unavailable.
According to industrial energy assessments, maintaining the purity of molten salts from production facilities to the solar storage tank is paramount. Impurities, specifically chlorides and moisture, catalyze severe corrosion in the stainless steel containment systems of heat exchangers and storage silos, leading to structural failures and operational downtime.
This is where the engineering of Molten Salt Bags becomes a crucial variable in the project lifespan. Wholesale molten salt bags manufacturers must design containment systems that absolutely prevent moisture ingress and mechanical damage. During transit across diverse climate zones, atmospheric humidity can turn highly hygroscopic nitrate salts into hard clumps or, worse, initiate localized dissolution that compromises product purity.
Shanxi Vojin New Materials provides end-to-end material and supply chain solutions for solar thermal developers. We realize that a successful molten salt delivery program involves more than just bulk chemical shipping. It requires specialized material formulations tailored to modern molten salt power plants.
Our macro-industry solutions integrate precise grain-size control to optimize melting rates, ultra-low chloride refinement processes to minimize tank degradation, and dedicated logistics configurations (including custom 1.0 to 1.5-ton FIBC jumbo bags with advanced moisture barrier linings) that interface seamlessly with site-melting units.
Beyond traditional binary "Solar Salt," the evolution of next-generation thermal storage has introduced ternary eutectic salts containing Calcium Nitrate ($Ca(NO_3)_2$). These ternary variations decrease the crystallization point from roughly 220°C to below 130°C, lowering the energy required for parasitic heating and freeze protection within the piping networks. By manufacturing Calcium Nitrate, Sodium Nitrate, and Potassium Nitrate in unified manufacturing complexes, Shanxi Vojin New Materials ensures absolute chemical compatibility and tailor-made blends for developers globally.
The molecular structure of nitrate compounds makes them naturally susceptible to caking. Under atmospheric temperature cycling, salts absorb moisture, forming liquid bridges between crystals. When temperatures drop, recrystallization forms hard solid bridges, making bulk unloading difficult. Our proprietary packaging employs heavy-duty woven polypropylene (PP) outer bags combined with a multilayer co-extruded polyethylene (PE) inner liner featuring aluminum barrier foil options to guarantee absolute dryness from factory floor to melting site.
Our structural production focus divides into high-performance chemical categories designed for scalability, longevity, and thermal precision.

Learn More About Our Journey
Providing end-to-end reliability for high-risk oxidizer handling, shipping, and storage.
Integrated experience in complex global shipping regulations, guaranteeing smooth customs clearance and secure container transport.
Annual capacity of 600,000 tons of molten salts ensures we can comfortably supply even the largest utility-scale solar projects.
Our dedicated chemical engineering and service team is available for prompt consultations, formulation matching, and site-unloading audits.
We produce Potassium Nitrate (KNO3), Sodium Nitrate (NaNO3), Calcium Nitrate, and customized blends to meet diverse customer specifications.
Because sodium and potassium nitrates are classified as UN 1498 and UN 1486 (Class 5.1 Oxidizers) respectively, shipping them internationally requires strict adherence to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code. Wholesale packaging must be certified to withstand standard drop tests, pressure differentials, and stacking loads without failure. Our molten salt bags carry official UN certification marking, guaranteeing they meet all requirements for global maritime transportation.
High temperatures accelerate chemical corrosion. If chloride ($Cl^-$) levels in the salt exceed 0.05%, they will cause stress-corrosion cracking and pitting in stainless steel piping. Shanxi Vojin employs a multi-stage crystallization process to reduce chloride levels to < 0.01% in our premium CSP grades. This significantly extends the lifespan of the storage tanks, pipes, and pumps at the power plant.
The industry is moving toward higher temperatures and lower melting points to increase thermodynamic efficiency. Our R&D department is currently collaborating with research centers to test ternary and quaternary nitrate-nitrite eutectic systems. We are also designing smart packaging options, including integrated RFID tracking tags and reusable, heavy-duty logistics frames, to reduce plastic waste at site installations.
