Quickphos Fumigation Tablets 1.5kg

Quickphos is a fumigant designed to control insects, burrowing pests, and rodents in stored commodities. The active ingredient, Aluminum Phosphide, when exposed to the air, combines with moisture in the air to generate phosphine gas. Phosphine fumigation is recognized worldwide as the most effective method of control for grain pests, saving thousands of tons of grain used for human consumption.

Quickphos Fumigation Tablets of Action

Quickphos, a fumigant insecticide, works by releasing phosphine gas. This gas is inhaled by insects and disrupts their cellular respiration, leading to their death. It’s primarily used for controlling stored product pests in various commodities and is known for its effectiveness, ease of use, and lack of residual effects on treated items.

Quickphos is an insecticide that acts by contact, ingestion, and especially inhalation. It blocks the breathing of insects, causing death very quickly. Quickphos comes in the form of a tablet, which metabolizes into gas when the packaging is opened, making it possible to treat even hard-to-reach volumes. Precautions for use: open the packaging with caution while being equipped with the appropriate protective equipment.
