amorphous phosphorus

White and amorphous phosphorus remained the main product of Albright and Wilson until World War I.

It took over ownership of a small part of the Oldbury site concerned with producing amorphous phosphorus and phosphorus sesquisulfide.

Albright and Wilson exhibited amorphous phosphorus at the Great Exhibition of 1851, at The Crystal Palace.

He placed a large order for amorphous phosphorus with Albright and Wilson and this led to the foundation of the Swedish Safety Match Industry.

Production of the red form of phosphorus, "amorphous phosphorus" was commenced by Arthur Albright in 1851, by heating white phosphorus in a sealed crucible under a vacuum.
