Description

Aluminum Phosphide is a highly effective inorganic compound primarily used as a fumigant. Its core value lies in its ability to release phosphine gas, a potent agent for controlling pests in stored commodities and agricultural settings. This product is essential for industries requiring reliable and large-scale pest eradication solutions, particularly in grain storage, commodity trading, and agricultural production. We supply high-purity Aluminum Phosphide CAS NO 20859-73-8 to meet the stringent demands of global industrial and agricultural applications.

Application

• Agricultural Fumigation: Primary use for protecting stored grains (wheat, rice, corn), tobacco, and other durable commodities from insects and rodents.
• Commodity Storage & Logistics: Fumigation of silos, shipping containers, warehouses, and freight holds to prevent infestation during transport and storage.
• Structural Fumigation: Control of pests in food processing plants, mills, and other enclosed structures.
• Rodent Control: Used in burrow fumigation for managing rodent populations in agricultural and storage areas.
• Quarantine Treatments: Meeting international phytosanitary requirements for the import and export of agricultural products.
• Raw Material: Serves as a source of phosphine gas for specialized chemical synthesis and metallurgical processes.

Quality Control

Our Aluminum Phosphide is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure consistent potency and safety for fumigation applications. Each batch is tested to confirm key parameters such as phosphine yield and reactivity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, moisture content, and phosphine generation rate is provided with every shipment to guarantee product performance and traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, moisture-proof container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its hygroscopic and reactive nature, storage areas must be isolated from acids, water, and other incompatible materials. Keep container sealed until ready for use in a controlled fumigation procedure.
