CALCIUM CARBIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Calcium carbide is a grayish-black crystalline compound with the chemical formula CaC2. It is used in the manufacture of acetylene gas, in the production of calcium cyanamide, and as a desulfurizing agent in steelmaking. Calcium carbide is highly reactive and poses significant safety risks, including fire and explosion hazards. Proper handling, storage, and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) are essential to ensure safety.
