Lanodir exclusively uses Cytec® and Horn Diluphos System® Phosphine Gas to ensure 100% effective and efficient Pest Control while protecting the environment. These are the benefits of using Phosphine Gas:
- There are no flash or explosion hazards, since the concentration of Phosphine injected does not exceed 10,000 ppm (which is much lower than its self-ignition limit of 18,000 ppm).
- It is not necessary to apply the product on several points, which eliminates the need to collect waste.
- The application of Phosphine does not depend on temperature or air moisture.
- Only pure Phosphine, which decomposes with sunlight, is used.
- Phosphine gas is easy to distribute.
- Fumigation is done from outside of the premises, minimizing exposure of employees to the gas.
- An innovative monitoring system is used throughout the fumigation process.
- Fumigation can be suspended at any time with the push of a button.
- Fumigation time is short, because no generation of gas is required.
- Quick establishment of lethal concentrations.
- Effective control of target insects.
and Phosphine Gas is environmentally friendly:
- Non Ozone depleting
- Non-Phytotoxic (non poisonous to plants)
- Lower Dosages of Phosphine are applied
- Unlike Methyl Fluoride, which takes between 40 to 100 years to degrade in the atmosphere, Phosphine Gas by the action of sunlight only needs between 24-48 hours to decompose into Phosphoric Acid (infinitesimal proportions), which is commonly used as a fertilizer. See Comparison Table below.
Lanodir does not use methyl bromide, which the World Meteorological Organization has singled out as the gas most responsible for the ozone layer depletion. Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion: 2006
