• Product Description: Industrial Calcium Carbide (CaC₂) from Iran

  1. Calcium carbide (CaC₂) is a grayish-white, crystalline compound used primarily to generate acetylene gas (C₂H₂) upon contact with water. It is an essential raw material in various industrial processes such as welding, metal cutting, and chemical synthesis.

  2. Iranian calcium carbide is produced using advanced electric arc furnaces, where lime (CaO) reacts with coke at high temperatures. The final product contains a high percentage of CaC₂ and meets international purity standards (typically ≥80%).

  3. Available in various grades and sizes—most commonly 50-80 mm, 25-50 mm, and powder forms—Iranian carbide is packaged in airtight, moisture-resistant drums to ensure safe handling and long shelf life.

  4. Common applications of calcium carbide include:

     • Acetylene gas generation for welding and metal fabrication

     • Desulfurization agent in steel manufacturing

     • Fruit ripening agent (with safety precautions)

     • Chemical synthesis of PVC and acetaldehyde

     • Mining and lighting (carbide lamps)

  5. Key product features:

     • High gas yield and purity

     • Controlled reactivity and particle size

     • Complies with REACH, ISO 9001, and UN transport regulations

     • Low impurity levels (phosphide, arsenic, sulfur)

     • Available in OEM packaging for export markets

  6. Iran exports calcium carbide to countries such as Russia, Turkey, India, Iraq, and Central Asia due to its competitive pricing, consistent quality, and adherence to international shipping standards (UN No. 1402).
