Product Description

Product Description of Aluminum phosphide (CAS#20859-73-8)

Aluminum phosphide is a binary NCHP-classified salt. It releases toxic, pyrophoric phosphine gas when exposed to moist air, water or steam, and may self-ignite on contact with air. It is gray to dark yellow crystalline solid, with high fire hazard due to strong chemical reactivity.


Product Application of Aluminum phosphide (CAS#20859-73-8)

Aluminum phosphide (AlP) is mainly used as a fumigant to control insects and rodents indoors for food and non-food crops. It is also applied outdoors in burrows and grain storage areas for rodent control. Widely used for rice protection, it is commonly known as "rice tablet" in some regions.
AlP is supplied in solid forms such as tablets, pellets and dust to meet different usage needs.
