High-quality calcium carbide available in various particle sizes for industrial applications worldwide.
Calcium carbide (CaC₂) is a chemical compound widely used in various industrial applications. It is a hard, grayish-black crystalline solid that reacts with water to produce acetylene gas, making it valuable in numerous industrial processes.
Our calcium carbide is produced using high-quality raw materials and advanced manufacturing processes to ensure consistent purity and performance across all particle sizes.
We offer calcium carbide in various particle sizes to meet specific industrial requirements. Each size is carefully processed and screened to ensure uniformity.
Fine granular calcium carbide with particle sizes ranging from 2 to 4 millimeters.
Medium-fine granular calcium carbide with particle sizes ranging from 4 to 7 millimeters.
Medium granular calcium carbide with particle sizes ranging from 7 to 15 millimeters.
Coarse granular calcium carbide with particle sizes ranging from 15 to 25 millimeters.
Large granular calcium carbide with particle sizes ranging from 25 to 50 millimeters.
Extra-large granular calcium carbide with particle sizes ranging from 50 to 80 millimeters.
Calcium carbide is a versatile compound with numerous industrial applications across various sectors.
The primary use of calcium carbide is in the production of acetylene gas, which is used in oxy-acetylene welding and cutting processes.
Used in steel production for desulfurization and as a fuel additive in blast furnaces.
Controlled use in fruit ripening processes, particularly for bananas and mangoes, by releasing ethylene gas.
Historically used in carbide lamps for mining and camping, where acetylene gas produces a bright flame.
Used as a raw material in the production of various chemicals including acetic acid, vinyl chloride, and more.
Utilized in water treatment processes for removing impurities and as a disinfecting agent.
Our calcium carbide products meet strict quality standards to ensure consistent performance in industrial applications.
