GOST 1460-81
Range of application
Special calcium carbide is designed for the production of acetylene, for the production of powder carbide reagent, carbide-carbamide plant growth regulator, desulphurizer, carbide lime. Special calcium carbide is a substance that has passed industrial processing using below-standard raw materials and wastes (crystalline limestones, high-ash slate and blast-furnace coke, etc.) and is used as an intermediate material in production methods.
Technical characteristics
In contact with water, calcium carbide decomposes with the release of acetylene and calcium hydroxide, in contact with oxidizing agents also releases acetylene and heats up. Acetylene is fire and explosion-hazardous. Calcium carbide refers to hazard category 1 substances according to the degree of impact on the body. Calcium carbide is packed in steel leak-tight drums of all types with a capacity of 100 dm3 or in special hermetically closed containers. Calcium carbide is stored in the open air under cover or in fire-proof, well-ventilated warehouses, excluding moisture ingress, in a vertical position, maximum in three tiers. Combined storage with other substances and materials is not allowed.
Prepacking: 100 kg drum
