Calcium Carbide

Technology and innovation allied to a pioneering spirit

White Martins was founded over 110 years ago in Brazil. We have been a pioneer in the production of calcium carbide in the country and have operated the largest and most modern facilities for producing it in Latin America, for almost 40 years.

We can provide calcium carbide, according to the profile, sector and needs of every customer, throughout Brazil and abroad, to the very highest quality, safety and reliability standards, thanks to regular investment in technology and innovation.

Carbide can be used in various industries. The manufacturing of carbide involves processing it into different granule sizes, which are suitable for various compositions and mixtures. In the steel industry, for example, carbide helps to reduce costs and improve the quality of the steel produced.

White Martins provides technical support and training on how to store, handle and use it, from a specialist team, as part of its policies and strict rules on safety, health and the environment. Our objective is to provide a complete, customized solution with the latest technology for our customers.

The environment

In line with our commitment to sustainability, White Martins uses charcoal from renewable forests to produce calcium carbide. We also ensure that all of the CO2 generated during the process is processed through a plant attached to the factory, to recycle it for industrial use.

These efforts ensure that the carbide has a closed and integrated production cycle, which allows us to reduce the impact on the environment and on the neighboring communities.
