Phosphine (PH3)

Phosphine can be used effectively as a substitute for Methyl Bromide. Although it does not have the ability to penetrate as thoroughly as Methyl Bromide and has a long incubation time, it can still be used for smoking quite effectively.

Methyl Bromide (CH3Br)

Methyl Bromide (CH3Br) was used very early and commonly. This chemical has the ability to diffuse and penetrate well, so it is often used to disinfect large shipments, warehouses or cargo holds with a volume of tens of thousands of cubic meters. Methyl Bromide (CH3Br) is used to treat dried agricultural products, handicrafts, wooden goods, vegetables, flowers, fresh fruits...

Aluminum Phosphide (AlP)

AlP is the original formula of the disinfectant Phosphine (PH3) - a toxic vapor that kills insects. When introduced into the disinfection space, AlP will combine with moisture in the air to release PH3, so the disinfection time for this drug is usually longer than that of Methyl Bromide.

* Note: With high and strict environmental protection regulations of many countries around the world, especially Europe, imported products need to fully comply with regulations otherwise they will face sanctions. Heavy fines from customs to units whose exported goods do not ensure safety.
