As a specialized chemical raw material manufacturer, we offer high-purity 100kg drum calcium carbide engineered for industrial acetylene gas generation, steelmaking desulfurization, and chemical synthesis. Smelted in high-temperature electric arc furnaces, our calcium carbide stone delivers high chemical reactivity, low trace impurities, and a guaranteed gas yield of at least 295 L/kg.
Welcome to our heavy-duty packaging section. For high-volume industrial gas plants, acetylene generation facilities, and steel manufacturing mills, selecting the right container sizing is key to optimizing freight costs and operational efficiency.
Our 100kg drum calcium carbide product line is specifically engineered for large-scale international buyers seeking maximum bulk handling efficiency. Compared to standard 50kg drums, the 100kg iron drum format reduces container stuffing footprint, minimizes drum handling labor at your discharge facility, and lowers per-ton packaging overhead for long-distance maritime transit.
Our industrial calcium carbide (CaC2) is smelted in modern high-temperature electric arc furnaces using high-purity quicklime and high-carbon anthracite. Each 100kg drum calcium carbide order meets stringent chemical purity and physical sizing criteria:
| Technical Parameter | Standard Specification (Grade A) | Analysis Method |
| Chemical Formula | CaC2 | ISO Standard |
| CAS Number | 75-20-7 | Standard Registry |
| Purity (CaC2 Content) | 78% – 85% Min. | Volumetric Titration |
| Gas Yield (20°C, 101.3 kPa) | 295 L/kg – 305 L/kg Min. | Gasometric Test |
| Available Granulation Sizes | 25–50 mm / 50–80 mm / 80–120 mm | Screen Analysis |
| Phosphine (PH3) | <= 0.08% (v/v) | Gas Chromatography |
| Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) | <= 0.15% (v/v) | Chemical Titration |
| Net Weight Per Unit | 100 KG / Steel Drum | Calibrated Scale |
By choosing our high-yield 100kg drum calcium carbide, industrial gas producers ensure maximum acetylene recovery per drum opened, significantly reducing solid lime residue disposal costs.
Because calcium carbide reacts rapidly with moisture to release flammable acetylene gas, container integrity during ocean transit is crucial. Our 100kg packaging protocol fully complies with international maritime dangerous goods (IMDG Class 4.3) regulations:
Reinforced Steel Construction: Drums are constructed from heavy-gauge corrugated cold-rolled steel, designed to withstand multi-tier stacking inside shipping containers.
Hermetic Seal & Nitrogen Purging: Each drum is fitted with a heavy-duty inner seal gasket and purged with dry nitrogen gas prior to final sealing to displace ambient moisture and prevent oxidation.
UN Dangerous Goods Certification: Drums feature permanent UN specification markings (UN 1402 Class 4.3, Packing Group I/II) for compliant hazardous material customs clearance.
Palletization & Containerization: Drums are strapped on heavy-duty, heat-treated wooden pallets (or loaded as loose drum FCL according to discharge port preference) with corner protectors to guarantee zero transit damage.
High-Capacity Acetylene Gas Plants: Ideal for automated generator hoppers that accept 100kg charge batches, reducing manual worker intervention.
Steelmaking & Metallurgical Desulfurization: Used as a powerful desulfurizing agent in iron ladles to produce low-sulfur steel grades efficiently.
Chemical Intermediates Synthesis: Feedstock for PVC resin manufacturing, vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), and calcium cyanamide fertilizers.
We offer flexible commercial arrangements tailored to multinational procurement offices, distributor contracts, and direct industrial end-users:
Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 22.5 Metric Tons (1 x 20ft FCL container holding 225 x 100kg drums)
Supported Shipping Terms: FOB, CFR, CIF, DDP
Payment Options: T/T (Telegraphic Transfer), Irrevocable L/C at sight
Export Documentation: Certificate of Analysis (COA), Safety Data Sheet (MSDS/SDS), UN Drum Certification, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin.
