- Composition
The solid in the form of pieces of irregular shapes or powder, violet-black in color, has a garlic odor of acetylene, is highly hygroscopic. Reacts quickly with water, resp. air humidity and releases extremely flammable acetylene gas, which is explosive on contact but also without contact with air

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packing
It is packed in tin drums with a net weight of 200 kg, 100 kg and 50 kg, in iron containers with a net weight of 1,000 to 1,800 kg according to the customer's requirements. The packaging is certified in an authorized state testing laboratory. Barrels and containers must be tightly closed. The barrels are equipped with a removable lid with a rubber seal. The neck of the container is equipped with a mechanical closure, which also ensures the gas tightness of the container. Returnable packaging must be returned by the customer closed, dry and empty. The side walls of the container must be reinforced by pressing the corrugation at the diagonal of the walls. The material (iron sheet) must be on the barrels min. 0.5 mm thick and on containers min. 3.0 mm. Each packaging unit must be marked in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. 1272/2008 (CLP) and ADR, RID and IMGD regulations. Carbide storage in barrels must be dry, covered and covered area on the sides, it can also be stored in containers in open space. Storage time is 6 months. The carbide is only disposed of in acetylene plants.

- Quality Specification
The calcium carbide produced is crushed and sorted. It is available in several quality grades depending on the grain size (ie grain size in mm) and the yield of acetylene. The binding quality specification and determination method are the subject of a contractual relationship.
Storage & Handling
- Transport And Storage
Barrels can only be shipped in covered railway wagons and tarpaulin-covered cars! Containers can also be transported in uncovered vehicles. Returnable packaging must be returned by the customer closed, dry and empty. Storage of carbide in barrels must be in a dry, covered and on the sides covered area, in containers it can also be stored outdoors.
