Hubbard-Hall has announced additional capacity for heat treat salts and corresponding services, effective immediately. "As a result of a consolidation of suppliers over the years, customers have been seeking alternative sources that can focus on producing a high quality product with reliable delivery and responsiveness to their needs. We have aligned our resources to meet this need," said Director of Sales Scott Papst.

Heat treat salts, also known as heat transfer salts, are used in plain carbon and alloy heat treatments such as austempering, martempering and annealing of steel. Heat treat salts are also utilized to cure extruded and molded rubber, along with additional applications including thermal storage in the solar, nuclear and pharmaceutical industries.
