Description

General description
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which belong to one of the four categories of greener alternatives. Calcium hydride enables sustainable energy through high-density hydrogen storage and efficient release, supporting cleaner technologies with improved cycling stability and reduced energy demand.

Application
Calcium hydride (CaH₂) can be used as a reducing agent to synthesize metallic elements (e.g., Ti, Zr, V, Nb, U, and Th) from metal oxides via the calcium hydride reduction process at higher temperature (600–1000°C). Metallic calcium produced by thermal decomposition is the actual reducing agent in this process. CaH₂is also used to reduce various metal hydrides to metals.
Analysis Note
Assay (by gasvolumetry): ≥ 95.0 %
