Overview
About this product
Gin is a fumigant with aluminium phosphide, 560 g/kg, in tablets. In air, aluminium phosphide decomposes, releasing phosphine gas, which inhibits cytochrome oxidase in the mitochondria of the pests and disrupts their cellular respiration; the course of the reaction depends on air humidity and temperature.
The product is intended for fumigating grain in storage facilities against stored-product pests. The manufacturer specifies 3 tablets (9 g) per 1 t of grain and an exposure of 5 to 10 days depending on temperature.
Fumigation is carried out only by trained teams of at least three workers wearing personal protective equipment. Pack size 1 kg.
