Products Description of Aluminum phosphide CAS#20859-73-8
Aluminum phosphide, categorized as a binary salt and included in the NCHP acronyms (refer to Chapter 2), possesses a unique hazard: it releases toxic and pyrophoric phosphine gas upon exposure to humid air, water, or steam. Additionally, this substance is prone to spontaneous ignition when coming into contact with air. Presented as gray or dark yellow crystalline particles, aluminum phosphide constitutes a significant fire hazard.

Product Application of Aluminum phosphide CAS#20859-73-8
Aluminum phosphide (AlP) is mainly employed as a fumigant to combat insects and rodents in indoor food and non-food crop settings. For outdoor rodent management, it can be applied to rodent burrows or used in grain storage spaces. Given its extensive use in rice preservation, this compound is also known as "rice tablet" in several countries. AlP is manufactured in solid formulations, supplied in the forms of tablets, pellets, or dust for operational use.
