Our factory sits in Inner Mongolia, right where the coal and lime are. We’ve been running furnaces for years, and right now we push out 70,000 tons of solid calcium carbide annually. Not a small operation. Not a trader. A real manufacturer.
Our warehouse in Tianjin is less than 5 km from the port. That means when you order solid calcium carbide, we load fast. No waiting around.

This size is bigger than sand, smaller than a golf ball. It reacts steadily – not too quick, not too slow. Gas yield: 265 L/KG batch after batch. We test every run.
Why 265? Because some processes don’t need the highest number. They need consistency. Steel desulfurization, medium acetylene plants, and certain chemical reactions work perfectly with this grade.
We also produce 1‑4, 4‑7, 7‑15, 25‑50, 50‑80, and 80‑120 mm. All from the same solid calcium carbide base.
You don’t have to fill a whole container with one size. Mix them. We do it all the time.
Say you want:
10 tons of 15-25 mm → Blue drums
5 tons of 4-7 mm → Green drums
3 tons of 50-80 mm → Black drums
All in one 20' container. Each size gets its own color. Your warehouse team sees blue – they know it’s 15-25 mm for the main line. No confusion.
We have 11 standard colors. Or tell us your RAL code.

Stickers fall off in heat or humidity. We paint directly on the drums. Send us a PDF or AI file. We’ll print:

Destination port or consignee details
We’ve printed in Thai, Arabic, Spanish, French, Vietnamese. No problem.
Main plant uses 100 kg drums (forklift). Remote site uses 50 kg drums (hand lifting). We load both into one container. Same freight bill. Same paperwork.
Example: 8 tons of 15-25 mm in 100 kg drums + 4 tons of 7-15 mm in 50 kg drums. One shipment.

Standard 20' container takes 22.5 tons of solid calcium carbide in drums. We strap and brace everything. You get a packing list showing drum count, colors, sizes, and weights.
Solid calcium carbide absorbs moisture from the air. That creates acetylene gas – flammable and dangerous.
Rules:
Keep drums off concrete floors (use pallets).
Store below 40°C, humidity under 50%.
Never stack under water pipes or sprinklers.
Reseal drums immediately after use.
In a dry warehouse, our solid calcium carbide lasts 2 years. In humid coastal areas, use within 12‑18 months.

We ship to over 45 countries – Vietnam, Indonesia, Nigeria, Brazil, Turkey, Poland, and more. Common uses:
Acetylene gas for cutting and welding
Steel desulfurization – injection through lances
Calcium cyanamide fertilizer production
Chemical synthesis (PVC, acetaldehyde)
Water + solid calcium carbide = acetylene gas. Acetylene + spark = explosion. Never open a drum in wet weather. Never use water on a spill (use dry sand). If a drum gets wet, evacuate. Don’t move it.
We put warnings on every drum. Train your people.
