Product Description
Chemical Industry Calcium Carbide is a chemical compound that is made up of calcium and carbon atoms. It has the chemical formula CaC2 and is a greyish-black solid with a crystalline structure. Chemical Industry Calcium Carbide is mainly used for the production of acetylene gas, which is a vital component in many industrial processes. When calcium carbide is mixed with water, it produces acetylene gas, which is highly flammable and has a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in welding and cutting torches, as well as in the production of chemicals such as vinyl chloride and acrylonitrile.
High Acetylene Yield and Industrial UtilityCalcium Carbide is essential in industries requiring high-purity acetylene for welding, metal cutting, and chemical synthesis. Its substantial acetylene yield-295-305 L/kg-enables efficient operations, making it an indispensable material across multiple industrial processes.
Safe Handling and PackagingTo ensure stability and safety, this chemical is delivered in sealed iron drums, minimizing exposure to moisture and preventing unwanted reactions. It is crucial to store Calcium Carbide in a cool, dry place away from water sources, as it reacts violently with moisture.
