Industrial-Grade Calcium Carbide (100kg Heavy-Duty Drum Packing)
Looking to buy calcium carbide in bulk with maximum safety and freight efficiency? Our industrial calcium carbide ($\text{CaC}_2$) is manufactured in Inner Mongolia and packaged in heavy-gauge, nitrogen-sealed 100kg steel drums designed specifically to resist moisture and withstand long ocean transit.
We offer a full spectrum of particle sizes—ranging from 25–50mm and 50–80mm for acetylene gas bottling to fine granular sizes (2–4mm, 7–15mm) for steel desulfurization. Operating dedicated Dangerous Goods (DG) warehouses at both Tianjin and Shanghai ports, we deliver full container shipments (FCL) across Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia with custom drum branding, mixed-size container loading, and complete customs documentation.
Looking to buy calcium carbide in bulk with reliable gas yield, factory-direct pricing, and zero logistics headaches? You have arrived at the right destination. We are a direct Chinese manufacturer providing heavy-duty industrial-grade calcium carbide ($\text{CaC}_2$) built to power acetylene generation plants, steel foundries, and chemical manufacturing operations around the globe.
Whether your company operates out of Africa, South America, or Southeast Asia, we bridge the gap between heavy production capacity and seamless seaport delivery. From our raw material smelting base to specialized seaport storage, we ensure every drum arrives dry, sealed, and ready for work.
When shipping hazardous chemicals across ocean routes, packaging is not just a detail—it is your first line of defense against moisture, oxidation, and gas loss. While we offer various packaging configurations, our 100kg sealed steel drum is the benchmark choice for international buyers seeking heavy industrial strength and maximum freight efficiency.
Enhanced Structural Integrity: Formed from heavy-gauge, anti-corrosive steel, our 100kg drums withstand extreme stack pressure during ocean transit and long-distance inland trucking.
Hermetic Nitrogen Purging: Prior to sealing, each 100kg drum undergoes a full nitrogen purge and is secured with heavy-duty inner plastic seals, protecting the calcium carbide from humidity and preserving gas yield.
Optimized Container Space: Loading 100kg drums allows for efficient weight distribution inside standard 20ft ocean containers, reducing handling labor at your receiving warehouse.
| Drum Type | Net Weight | Gross Weight | Loading Capacity (20ft FCL) | Total Net Freight |
| Heavy-Duty Steel Drum | 100 kg | ~106 kg | 225 Drums | 22.5 Metric Tons |
| Standard Steel Drum | 50 kg | ~53 kg | 450 Drums | 22.5 Metric Tons |
Not all acetylene generators or metallurgical processes operate the same way. Feeding the wrong size into an automated hopper can lead to clogging, erratic pressure drops, or excessive sludge buildup. When you buy calcium carbide from us, you can choose from a complete spectrum of lump sizes designed to fit your specific machinery:
50–80mm: Our most requested size for heavy industrial gas plants. It provides a slow, steady reaction rate and long-lasting gas release, perfect for high-capacity acetylene bottling operations.
25–50mm: The ideal middle ground for automated and semi-automated generators. It dissolves smoothly, maintaining balanced gas pressure without sudden temperature spikes.
Engineered for high-output continuous gas generators, minimizing recharge cycles and maximizing gas throughput.
Specialized particle sizes designed for steelmaking desulfurization, foundry refining, and rapid agricultural gas release applications.
Lowering your landed cost requires more than just a low unit price—it demands a smart shipping infrastructure. We have structured our manufacturing and export network to protect your budget and timelines:
High-Purity Smelting Base (Inner Mongolia): Our main manufacturing facility operates in Inner Mongolia, situated directly adjacent to top-tier limestone deposits and metallurgical coke resources. This location grants us control over raw material quality and ensures high production volume year-round.
Tianjin Export Hub: Our dedicated branch in Tianjin manages fast dispatch through Tianjin Port, the primary northern gateway for Chinese chemical exports.
Shanghai Port Logistics: For ocean lanes requiring alternative vessel routes or faster transit schedules to South America and Southeast Asia, we maintain direct export channels out of Shanghai Port.
Exclusive Seaport DG Warehousing: Because calcium carbide is classified as Class 4.3 Hazardous Cargo (Dangerous When Wet), holding time at public terminals can cause delays. We manage dedicated Dangerous Goods (DG) warehouses at both Tianjin and Shanghai ports, allowing fast drum staging, UN-certified inspections, and container stuffing.
Every market has its own preferences. We offer modular ordering options so you get exactly what your business requires:
Custom Drum Color & Branding: Protect your brand identity by selecting custom drum paint colors (Yellow, Blue, Green, Red, Black). We apply crisp silk-screen printing containing your logo, product specs, and localized safety markings (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic).
Mixed Lump Sizes in One Container: Need 50–80mm for your main plant but require 25–50mm or smaller sizes for local distribution? We support mixed container loading, allowing you to combine different lump sizes and different drum configurations (e.g., combining 100kg drums with 50kg drums) inside the same 20ft container.
Navigating chemical trade into developing markets takes practical export experience. African destinations make up a major segment of our monthly export volume, and we maintain an established shipping record across every coastal gateway on the continent.
Full Regional Reach: We ship routinely to major ports, including Lagos / Apapa (Nigeria), Mombasa (Kenya), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Durban (South Africa), Tema (Ghana), Abidjan (Ivory Coast), Luanda (Angola), and Dakar (Senegal).
Documentation & Pre-Shipment Compliance: We manage all mandatory import protocols required by local customs authorities, including SONCAP, PVOC / COC, BV, SGS, and COTECNA inspections, alongside prompt issuance of Bills of Lading, Certificates of Origin (Form E, CO), and full MSDS sets.
When you buy calcium carbide from our plant, you receive a multi-purpose chemical compound engineered for key industrial sectors:
Acetylene Gas Bottling: Yields high-purity acetylene gas ($\text{C}_2\text{H}_2$) for compressed gas cylinders used in industrial welding and metal cutting.
Steel Refining & Desulfurization: Serves as a chemical agent in ladle metallurgy to bind sulfur impurities, producing cleaner steel.
Metal Fabrication & Cutting: Supplies consistent gas output for heavy oxy-acetylene cutting torches in scrap yards and structural engineering.
Organic Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a chemical feedstock for producing PVC resins, synthetic rubbers, and agricultural ripening formulations.
We make commercial terms simple and adaptable for long-term contract partners and new importers alike:
Telegraphic Transfer (T/T): Flexible deposit terms with final balance payable against Bill of Lading documentation.
Letter of Credit (L/C): 100% Irrevocable L/C at sight issued by recognized international banks.
Custom Contract Terms: Tailored options available for established volume distributors.
