1. Resins: Used in the plastics industry, for resin production (PVC, MVC, etc.). 2. Siderurgy and Foundry:
Due to the strong desulfuration potential, it is used to remove sulfur from pig iron, steel, cast iron and nickel-iron. Calcium
Carbide is also an excellent slag deoxidant agent, providing excellent results for secondary metallurgy during the tapping,and in
the ladle furnace. In the Cubilot furnace (Cupola) it partially substitutes the metallurgical coke, allowing cast iron production
with lower sulfur and operation with better alloy yield. 3. Metal Cutting and Welding:Due to its high flame temperature, the
acetylene produced with calcium carbide is ideal for cutting and welding. 4. Soil:Used as a moisture detector due to its high
hygroscopic property. 5. Production of Acetylene Black:Used in battery manufacturing.
