Import Calcium Carbide (Cac2) — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in France

Calcium Carbide (CAC2) offered by Soupin Jean Stephane in France is a solid inorganic compound used to generate acetylene gas on demand. Its chemical formula is CaC₂ and it carries the CAS number 75-20-7, UN number 1402, and is classified under Hazard Class 4.3 for transport. The supplier lists typical particle sizes from 80 mm to 100 mm, suitable for a range of industrial equipment. The product is identified as a hazardous material requiring appropriate handling and storage.

Industry practice expects calcium carbide to have a purity above 99 % and a moisture content below 0.5 % to ensure reliable acetylene yield, which is typical for this grade. Bulk density usually falls between 0.9 and 1.1 g cm⁻³, allowing efficient packing in standard containers. The material is supplied in new iron drums, commonly in 50 kg, 100 kg or 250 kg capacities, which aligns with the bulk packaging mentioned by the supplier. Standard safety data sheets detail the reactivity with water, producing acetylene and calcium hydroxide, a reaction that underpins its use in welding and cutting operations.

Primary applications include acetylene generation for metalworking, mining equipment, carbide lamps and as a fruit‑ripening agent in agricultural processes. The listing notes flexible minimum order quantities and references ISO certification, although the exact scope should be confirmed directly with the supplier. Buyers should verify the hazard classification, packaging integrity and any required export licences before shipment. All trade terms, including Incoterms and payment conditions, need to be negotiated with Soupin Jean Stephane to match the importer's requirements.

Soupin Jean Stephane is listed as an imported‑tier supplier based in France. The marketplace assigns a harbor trust tier, indicating a moderate level of verification, while the response rate is currently recorded as 0 % with no average response time available. The supplier's catalogue focuses on chemical commodities, including calcium carbide, and the listing does not provide additional corporate background.

Because the profile lacks detailed company history, buyers should request information on manufacturing facilities, quality management systems and any third‑party audits. The supplier’s willingness to provide ISO certification is mentioned, but confirmation is required before finalising a contract. Engaging directly with the contact person will clarify production capacity and compliance with relevant hazardous‑material regulations.
