In addition to its toxic properties, the gas will corrode certain metals and may ignite spontaneously in air at concentrations above its lower flammable limit of 1.8% v\/v (18,000 ppm). These hazards will be described in greater detail later on in this Applicator\u2019s Manual. PHOSTOXIN\u00ae also contains ammonium carbamate which liberates ammonia and carbon dioxide as follows: NH2C00NH4 \u2014&gt; 2NH3 + CO2 These gases are essentially non-flammable and act as inerting agents to reduce fire hazards. PHOSTOXIN\u00ae is prepared in two spherical shapes. The rounded tablets weigh approximately 3 grams and will release 1 gram of phosphine gas. They are about 16mm in diameter. The pellets are about 10 mm in diameter, weigh approximately 0.6 gram and release 0.2 gram of phosphine gas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHOSTOXIN\u00ae tablets and pellets are used to protect stored commodities from dam- age by insects.
