Technical Characteristics

PART NAME ASSIGNED BY CONTROLLING AGENCY: (CXCY) ALUMINUM PHOSPHIDE FUMIGANT
PHYSICAL FORM: (AGXW) TABLET
SPECIAL FEATURES: (FEAT) ITEM NAME: INSECTICIDE, ALUMINUM PHOSPHIDE; CHEMICAL COMPOSITION PERCENTAGE: 55 % ALUMINUM PHOSPHIDE; PROPRIETARY % AMMONIUM CARBAMATE; 2 - 12 % TRACDE SECRET; 2 - 12 % PROPRIETARY; 2 - 12% TRADE SECRET.21 ALUMINUM FLASKS OF 333 TABLETS, EACH TABLET LIBERATE 1.0 GRAMS OF PHOSPHINE GAS. PHOSTOXIN TABLETS CONTAIN ALUMINUM PHOSPHIDE AS THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT ALLOWING FOR THE CONTROLED RELEASE OF PHOSPHINE GAS. DEPENDING UPON TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY, PHOSTOXIN TABLETS AND PELLETS RELEASE PHOSPHINE GAS SLOWLY UPON EXPOSURE TO MOISTURE FROM THE AIR. DUE TO THE SMALLER SIZE OF THE PELLETS, DECOMPOSITION IS MORE RAPID THAN WITH THE TABLETS. PHOSPHINE GAS READILY PENETRATES MANY KINDS OF PACKING MATERIAL AS WELL AS DENSELY PACKED COMMODITIES AND CAN CONTROL ALL DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES OF STORED PRODUCT PESTS. PHOSPHINE GAS MAY ALSO BE USED TOCONTROL RODENTS IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS.
SUPPLEMENTARY FEATURES: (SUPP) FIELDS OF APPLICATION - THE USE OF PHOSTOXID TABLETS IS NOT LIMITED TO ANY PARTICULAR TYPE OF STORAGE. THEY CAN BE APPLIED IN SILOS, BINS, WAREHOUSES, RAILCARS, CONTAINERS, BARGES, OR SHIPS. APPLICATION MAY BE MADE EITHER BY HAND OR BY INSERTING THE TABLETS OR PELLETS INTO THE COMMODITY USING A PROBE. WHEN FUMIGATING SILOS OR BINS, THE TABLETS OR PELLETS MAY BE ADDED TO THE COMMODITY DURING THE FILLING PROCEDURE. THE MOST ECONOMICAL AND SAFE METHOD OF APPLICATION WHILE FILLING A SILO, IS THE USE OF AN AUTOMATIC DISPENSER. STORAGES REQUIRING MORE THAN 2 DAYS TO FILL SHOULD NOT BE TREATED BY ADDITION OF FUMIGANT TO THE COMMODITY STREAM AS LARGE QUANTITIES OF PHOSPHINE GAS MAY ESCAPE BEFORE THE BIN IS COMPLETELY FILLED. QUANTITY WITHIN EACH UNIT PACKAGE: CASE CONTAINS 21 FLASKS OF 333 TABLETS, 1.0 GRAMS PER TABLET.
