About Aluminium Phosphide

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 r...

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)

Condition

Fireproff storage, separate from acids, dry, with ventilation along the floor. Protect from moist air - will react to produce highly toxic phosphine.

Stability

Flammable solid. Contact with acids liberates highly toxic gas (phosphine). Incompatible with acids, moisture, oxidizing agents.
