Aluminium Phosphide (CAS NO : 20859-73-8)

Aluminium phosphide (phosphide of aluminum) is a inorganic compound primarily used as a fumigant for pest control. Phosphinidynealuminum is a solid material, typically formulated into tablets or pellets, that releases highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas (PH₃) upon contact with water or moisture from the air. The release of phosphine gas is the mechanism by which it acts as an effective pesticide. The tablets often contain additives like ammonium carbamate to suppress the potential spontaneous ignition of the phosphine gas. Also referred to as Aluminium(III) phosphide & Aluminium monophosphide by aluminium phosphide manufacturers. We are the leading and trusted aluminum phosphide supplier worldwide with reliable lead times and global supply capability.

Chemical Properties & Specifications

Applications of Aluminium Phosphide

Agrochemical Pesticide

Fumigation of sealed silos, containers, and warehouses to Eliminate pests like weevils, beetles, and moths that infest stored grains, seeds, and animal feed

Agrochemical Rodenticide

Exterminating rodents and other burrowing animals, such as moles, by placing the tablets directly into burrows and sealing the entrances

Fumigant

Killing pests in empty warehouses, mills, and shipping containers

Greenhouses

Controlling underground and above-ground pests, including nematodes

Industrial/Semiconductor

Preferred as a wide-bandgapsemiconductor material, often alloyed with other binary materials for light-emitting diodes (LEDs)

Main use is as a fumigant for stored grains and other agricultural commodities to control insects and rodents. It is also a semiconductor material.

Reacts with moisture (including stomach acid or air humidity) to release highly toxic, flammable phosphine gas.

When exposed to water or stomach acid, it undergoes a chemical reaction that releases phosphine gas and that penetrates deeply into the treated material, poisoning the pests by inhibiting vital cellular enzymes and causing cellular hypoxia, which leads to paralysis and death.

Due to its extreme toxicity, aluminium phosphide should only be handled by trained, licensed professionals.

Yes, the others are zinc phosphide and calcium phosphide.
