Detia Gas Ex-T 1kg

Phostoxin tablets are known for their ability to develop phosphine gas within a very short time on being exposed to the atmosphere, depending on the temperature and humidity.

Phostoxin tablets are best suited for controlling rodents and pests that are prone to infesting stored products.

Application of Phostoxin tablets is not limited to any particular type of storage. They can be applied in silo installations (by adding the tablets to the commodities when filling), warehouses, containers, and ships, either by hand or through a special dispenser.

Dosage and exposure time depend entirely on factors such as temperature and humidity, type of sealing of storage, commodity packing, and type of stored product pest to be controlled.

Detia Gas Ex-T Composition

Aluminium phosphide 57% w/w + Auxiliaries 32% w/w

Detia Gas Ex-T Mode of Action

The product starts to produce phosphine in 30 to 60 minutes after the first contact with the atmosphere. The process dynamics depend on air temperature and humidity. Phosphine is effective against all pests of stored foodstuffs developmental stages, as well as some rodents that penetrate from the outside. The gas has a high penetrating ability; it diffuses rapidly throughout nearly all packaging materials as well as through tightly packed goods.

Advantages of Detia Gas Ex-T

• No ozone layer depletion
• Occupational safety
• Effective against stored product pests such as eggs and pupae
• Safe and easy application

Detia Gas Ex-T Airing Out

• Following fumigation, there should be an airing-off period of at least four hours or until gas levels drop below the Occupational Exposure Standard.
• Once opened, the contents of the container must be used immediately.
• Unprotected persons must be kept out of treated areas until the phosphine concentration in the atmosphere has fallen below the Occupational Exposure Standard.
• After following the appropriate exposure times, the following minimum airing periods must be observed:
  1. Rice, wheat, barley, maize, oats, sorghum, rye, millet, and oilseeds – four hours
  2. Animal feed, flour, spices, confectionery, biscuits, dried fruit and nuts, and tobacco in cases or bales – two days.
  3. Tobacco in hogsheads – three days.

Detia Gas Ex-T Restrictions

1. TO BE USED ONLY BY OPERATORS TRAINED IN THE USE OF ALUMINIUM PHOSPHIDE and familiar with the precautionary measures to be observed. See HSE Publication Fumigation: Health and safety guidance for employers and technicians carrying out fumigation operations.
2. IN CASE OF FIRE. Use dry sand, powder, or CO2. Never use Water.
3. Remains of containers must be removed after treatment and buried. All persons and animals must be kept out of the fumigation area and adjacent areas into which gas might penetrate.
4. Do not use when the commodity temperature is below 15 °C and/or the relative humidity within the structure is high, or with row cereal grain, the moisture content should be less than 9%.
5. Don’t fumigate in inhabited buildings.
6. Don’t use on any commodity, empty containers, or vessels that are in transit.
7. Don’t heap tablets.
8. Don’t apply as a surface-only treatment in a structure whose height exceeds twice its width.
9. Phosphine is also highly toxic to humans and warm-blooded animals.
