When drilling through loose materials such as sand or gravel, salt may be added to the [[drilling fluid]] to provide a stable "wall" to prevent the hole collapsing. There are many other processes in which salt is involved. These include its use as a [[mordant]] in [[textile]] dying, to regenerate [[resin]]s in water softening, for the [[Tanning (leather)|tanning]] of hides, the preservation of meat and fish and the [[canning]] of meat and vegetables.<ref name=WASG/><ref name=IHS>{{cite web |url=http://www.ihs.com/products/chemical/planning/ceh/sodium-chloride.aspx |title=Sodium chloride |date=1 December 2008 |publisher=IHS Chemical |accessdate=12 March 2013}}</ref>{{sfn|Kostick|2011}}
