Cytec has been producing phosphine on an industrial scale for over 35 years. A great deal of this phosphine is reacted with a variety of olefins or aldehydes to produce a wide range of products. Phosphine is both very pyrophoric and very toxic. Its toxic properties make phosphine very useful in Cytec's range of agricultural fumigant products. This simple starting material is also purified and used as a dopant in the manufacture of semiconductors and compound semiconductors. Cytec's expertise in the safe handling and use of phosphine has assured its place as a leader in the industry.
