Driving on the #1 Trans Canada Hwy passing Chaplin, Saskatchewan you may feel like you are in a summer snowstorm on windy days. It is not snow, but blowing natural cake salts.
These salts are processed at the Chaplin plant which began operating in 1948.
Sodium sulfate is used primarily in powdered laundry and dishwasher detergents, carpet deodorizers, modified corn starches, textile dying,
glass making, kraft paper, and mineral feeds for livestock.
