Browse our top manufactured inorganic chemicals and customized molten salt products optimized for solar power generation, metallurgy, agriculture, and high-precision glass processing.
As the world transitions to a decarbonized power grid, standard battery technologies like Lithium-ion are hitting physical and cost limitations for long-duration applications. This has elevated thermal energy storage (TES) to a critical structural position, particularly in solar thermal applications. In this grand industrial shift, molten salts have emerged as the absolute gold standard for medium and long-term heat storage. Acting as both the heat transfer fluid (HTF) and the energy storage medium, high-purity inorganic nitrate salts allow Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) facilities to achieve stable, baseload-dispatchable energy round the clock.
Beyond green electricity grids, molten salts are revolutionizing high-temperature industrial processes. Traditional coal-to-steam plants, chemical synthesis plants, and waste heat recovery systems are actively retrofitting with molten salt reservoirs. By storing excess thermal energy at operating temperatures exceeding 560°C, industries can decouple fuel supply from operational peak loads, slashing direct carbon emissions and lowering fuel expenditures.
Formulations typically utilize high-purity Potassium Nitrate and Sodium Nitrate mixtures, designed to handle elevated operational margins with virtually no degradation over thousands of heating cycles.
Unlike pressurized water or vaporized oils, molten salt operates safely without maintaining high containment pressures, eliminating major explosion risk vectors inside structural industrial environments.
Offering impressive volumetric sensible heat storage capacity, molten salts optimize the layout footprint of massive power stations while retaining structural resilience in sub-zero seasonal weather.
Driven since 2000, we have been committed to the entrepreneurial spirit and passion for innovation. Our team takes pride in delivering dependable products and services with a quality distinction in thermal energy storage & water-soluble fertilizer industries globally.
As a cornerstone of Asia's chemical refining cluster, Shanxi Vojin New Materials has developed a highly integrated production architecture. From basic mining components to finished, complex molten salt compounds, our processing facilities manage raw material purities down to fractional parts per million (ppm). This obsessive focus on engineering excellence and raw-grade standardization ensures our clients experience lower corrosion, longer asset lifetimes, and predictable heat transfer properties across all field operations.
Our high-temperature salt mixtures serve as critical operational backbones across multiple strategic industrial pillars.
Enabling concentrated solar plants to balance grid supply and demand by capturing sun thermal energy during off-peak hours and dispatching electricity on demand.
Used as high-temperature chemical strengthening bath salts for high-strength cover glasses found in modern smart devices, tablets, and interactive screens.
Delivering consistent heat exchange performance for coal-to-chemical conversions and clean steam generation, lowering system degradation across all pipe architectures.
Our ultra-soluble nitrates serve as core bases for modern agricultural fertilizer production, increasing crop yields and soil absorption dynamics in arid environments.

High-purity potassium chloride, calcium ammonium nitrate, and trace element soluble compounds.
Sourced industrial chemicals refined to strict criteria to maximize industrial reuse value streams.
The fundamental engineering challenge of deploying molten salt thermal storage is corrosion control. Standard industrial grades of Potassium Nitrate and Sodium Nitrate contain minute chloride, sulfate, and carbonate impurities. When exposed to heat exceeding 500°C, these impurities disintegrate into highly aggressive oxidation compounds that rapidly corrode alloy pipes, storage tank liners, and pump seals.
Shanxi Vojin New Materials mitigates this via an proprietary multistage purification system. By reducing trace halides to below 100 ppm, we minimize the electrochemical oxidation rate of modern stainless-steel and nickel-alloy components. This extends the service lifespan of power plant configurations from the typical 15 years to more than 30 years, drastically lowering operational capital expenses (CAPEX).
In addition, our advanced pelletizing and packaging facilities control the moisture absorption of our salts. Standard inorganic nitrates are highly hygroscopic, absorbing water from ambient humidity which triggers early clumping during transport. Our protective packaging ensures free-flowing material delivery directly to solar receiver towers across Asia, the Middle East, and North America.
Procuring industrial-scale chemicals across Asian borders demands compliance with rigorous environmental and logistics rules. Whether supplying solar stations in China's Gobi Desert, industrial zones in India, or energy initiatives in West Asia, Shanxi Vojin New Materials ensures complete alignment with regional protocols:
Every shipment is backed by verified GHS safety sheets, ensuring transparent handling protocols during custom clearance and rail/marine transits.
Our factory processes meet stringent quality audits, providing complete process transparency from mineral extraction to delivery packing.
Through our dedicated warehouses, we guarantee short lead-times across Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and GCC nations, preventing project delays.
