Products Description

Aluminum phosphide belongs to binary salt compounds and exhibits notable hazardous properties. When exposed to moist air, water or water vapor, it will release phosphine, a highly toxic and pyrophoric gas. This chemical may also self‑ignite upon contact with air. It appears in the form of gray to dark‑yellow crystalline particles and presents significant fire‑hazard potential.

Products Application

Aluminum phosphide (AlP) functions primarily as a fumigant for insect and rodent control within indoor storage facilities for both food‑grade and non‑food crops. For outdoor rodent suppression, it can be placed directly into rodent burrows or deployed inside grain‑storage premises. Widely adopted for rice preservation, the product is colloquially referred to as “rice tablet” in multiple regional markets. Aluminum phosphide is supplied in various solid formulations including tablets, pellets and dust to satisfy diverse operational requirements.
