Solid calcium carbide Applications
Acetylene Production: The primary use of solid calcium carbide is to produce acetylene, a vital building block for organic synthesis. Acetylene gas is widely used in manufacturing PVC resin, synthetic rubber, acetic acid, and vinyl acetate.
Metallurgical Industry: Acts as an efficient desulfurizer for molten iron and steel, reducing sulfur content to enhance metal quality.
Metal Processing: The oxy-acetylene flame from acetylene combustion enables high-temperature welding and cutting of metals.
Chemical Synthesis: Used to produce calcium cyanamide (lime nitrogen), a key raw material for fertilizers and herbicides.
Safety & Packaging
Packaging: Sealed in iron drums, no moisture (50kg/100kg drum, or customized).
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse; avoid moisture, water, and direct sunlight.
Safety: Classified as a dangerous good (UN 1402); handle with care to prevent contact with water and moisture.
