Vacuum salt is a white crystalline powder or soft lumps, free from visible contamination with clay, grit, extraneous adulterants and impurities. Guljag's vacuum salt is almost free from extraneous matter.

Soda ash has a tendency to absorb moisture from the atmosphere. The moist soda ash then starts absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide. This phenomenon of absorption of moisture and carbon dioxide by soda ash is known as weathering. After weathering, soda ash is likely to contain appreciable moisture and sodium bicarbonate, but the total alkali content of the bag does not change. Soda ash has a tendency to cake when it comes in contact with moisture and, consequently, becomes lumpy.

Vacuum salt is not only an excellent alternative to solar salt in all applications, it is more beneficial because of its additional qualities. It can be used with advantage in many salting-out processes. It can also be used for the manufacture of cattle-licks, papad-khar, sal-ammoniac bars, iodized salt, etc.
