Calcium Carbide:
Grey, brown or black solid, purple when its purity is higher, the specific gravity is 2.22(18°C), melting point is 2300°C. It is an important basic material in organic synthesis industry, Acetylene obtanied from calcium carbide is raw material to make ethylene, chloroprene rubber, calcium cyanamide, acetic acd, acetaldehydr, ethylacetate, cyanide acetate, dicyandiamide, acetone, octanol, trichloride ethylene etc.
Packed in steel drum of 100kg, net each and marked with "calcium carbide avoid fire and water" on the side, Stored in cool, venilated and dry warehouse and kept away from water and moisture
