Often seen merely as a chemical raw material, calcium carbide serves as a critical cornerstone in various industrial processes worldwide. Its unique chemistry and reliable production have made it a safe and trusted partner for manufacturers and buyers spanning sectors such as organic synthesis, oxy-acetylene welding, and beyond.
Calcium carbide (CaC2) exhibits a remarkable chemical trait: upon contact with water, it undergoes an exothermic reaction producing acetylene gas (C2H2) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2):
| Reaction |
|---|
| CaC2 + 2H2O → C2H2 + Ca(OH)2 + heat |
This reaction liberates energy, making calcium carbide both effective and efficient in producing acetylene on-demand. Acetylene, a colorless, highly flammable gas, is essential as a fuel and chemical feedstock, especially in industries demanding high heat intensity and chemical reactivity.
Our calcium carbide meets strict purity standards, ensuring consistent performance across various applications:
“Reliable purity and on-time delivery of calcium carbide have ensured our uninterrupted acetylene supply, boosting our production efficiency significantly.” – Leading Chemical Manufacturer, India
