Uses
Calcium Phosphide (CAS NO.1305-99-3) has uses in incendiary bombs. It is also used in fireworks, torpedoes, self-igniting naval pyrotechnic flares, and various water-activated ammunition. During 1920's and 1930's, Charles Kingsford Smith used separate buoyant canisters of calcium carbide and calcium phosphide as naval flares lasting up to ten minutes. It is speculated that calcium phosphide was an ingredient of some ancient Greek fire formulas.
Production
Raw materials are Aluminium-->Argon-->Calcium phosphate-->Calcium .
Consensus Reports
Reported in EPA TSCA Inventory.
Safety Profile

Specification
Calcium Phosphide (CAS NO.1305-99-3) has the appearance of red-brown crystalline powder or grey lumps, with melting point of 1600 °C. Its trade name is Photophor for the incendiary use or Polythanol for the use as rodenticide. On contact with acids or water, calcium phosphide releases phosphine, which ignites spontaneously.It reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide and phosphine, a flammable poisonous gas. Phosphine will normally ignite spontaneously in contact with air. If there is an excess of water this fire of phosphine will not normally ignite surrounding combustible material.
Reactivity Profile Calcium Phosphide and hydrochloric acid undergo a very energetic reaction.Calcium and other alkaline earth phosphides incandesce in oxygen when heated. Inhalation or ingestion causes faintness, weakness, nausea, vomiting. External contact with dust causes irritation of eyes and skin. Behavior in Fire: Can cause spontaneous ignition if wet. Contributes dense smoke of phosphoric acid.
