Description: SIKPHOS-56 decomposes to release Phosphine gas upon contact with moisture in the air. Phosphine quickly spreads and penetrates into the commodity being fumigated. Reaches insects by diffusing through air space between stored grains and stacks of packaged material. Requires warm temperature (>15° C) and air tight enclosures for effective fumigation and insect control. Phosphine acts on the respiratory chain of insects. Features: SIKPHOS-56 kills all stages of Insects. Phosphine gas from SIKPHOS-56 is practically insoluble in water, fats and oils and therefore has no appreciable reaction on the fumigated commodities. Phosphine gas dissipates completely after fumigation from the treated area upon aeration. Phosphine from SIKPHOS-56 does not adversely affect the quality of agricultural commodities fumigated. Phosphine is not an ozone depleting gas. Phosphine does not persist in the atmosphere and degrades rapidly. Available in solid formulations tablets, pellets and in powder.
