China and the United States are the leading exporters of calcium hydride, accounting for the majority of global shipments, while Germany, Japan, and South Korea represent the largest importing markets. Calcium hydride prices have remained relatively stable amid steady demand from specialty chemical and semiconductor manufacturing sectors. Export volumes from China increased modestly in 2023–2024, while U.S. exports held steady, and European imports showed consistent growth, reflecting sustained industrial uptake.
Calcium hydride is a grayish-white, crystalline solid that is odorless and non-volatile, with a melting point of approximately 816 °C (decomposes before boiling). It is an inorganic ionic compound classified as a metal hydride. Calcium hydride serves primarily as a powerful reducing agent and desiccant in industrial chemical synthesis, particularly for the production of high-purity hydrogen gas and in the reduction of metal oxides and halides. It is widely used in metallurgical processes, semiconductor manufacturing, and as a drying agent for solvents such as tetrahydrofuran and diethyl ether. Typical application areas include specialty chemicals, electronics materials, and catalyst preparation.
This chemical is included in Basic Chemicals. See more about what is Calcium Hydride and Calcium Hydride SDS information.
