Calcium Carbide Crystals (CAS 75-20-7) are inorganic chemical compounds manufactured exclusively via electric arc furnace smelting of lime and coke. Our calcium carbide crystals appears as grey/black irregular granules with a crystalline fracture. Unlike standard industrial fillers, these crystals are formulated for stoichiometric consistency, ensuring maximum Acetylene (C₂H₂) yield per kilogram.
Molecular Formula: CaC₂
Purity: 98.5% min. (Industrial Grade)
Gas Yield: ≥295 L/kg (at 20°C, 101.3 kPa)
Particle Sizing: Available in graded standards (4-7mm, 7-15mm, 25-50mm, 50-80mm), can be customized also.
N.W.: 50kg/100 kg net in steel drums.
Metal Fabrication: Oxy-acetylene gas to cutting and welding (primary use).
Chemical Synthesis: Intermediate for PVC, Acetaldehyde, and Acrylic acid production.
Environmental & Metallurgy: Desulfurization agent in the steel industry and slag foaming.
Fruit Ripening: Controlled acetylene release for artificial ripening of bananas and mangoes (users must verify local compliance).
Storage: Calcium carbide crystals must be stored in airtight, dry, well-ventilated warehouses. Never store near water, acids, or halogens.
Fire Suppression: Use Class D extinguishers (dry graphite, soda ash). DO NOT USE WATER or foam.
Calcium carbide crystals should loaded in sealed nitrogen filled, waterproof iron drums (50kg/100 kg drum). It will load 22.5 MT per container no matter 50kg drum or 100kg drum packing. We can load calcium carbide crystals with pallets, then can be easy for you to discharge. And if 50kg drum, we always use two layers pallets, then it will be 360 drums, 18 tons per container. If 100kg drum, can be one layer, two layers, or three layers, 195 drums, 19.5 tons per contianer. And we usually ship by MSC shipping line, who is more professional about the delivery of calcium carbide. Once we ship one time by MSC, then there will be MSC code in their systerm. It will be more easy for us to book next shipping. We are professional calcium carbide crystals factory in China, can supply the good advice to you when you order the calcium carbide crystals. If you want to buy the calcium carbide crystals, just contact us freely.
