Get Pyrophoric Materials

Some examples of pyrophoric materials include: metal hydrides (sodium hydride, germane, lithium aluminum hydride) alkyl metal hydrides (butyllithium, trimethylaluminum, triethylboron) metal carbonyls (nickel carbonyl, iron pentacarbonyl)

Keep pyrophoric chemicals segregated from flammable/combustible materials or other incompatible chemicals. Avoid storage areas near to heat/flames, oxidizers, and water sources. Minimize quantities of pyrophoric material stored in the laboratory.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Wear eye protection with chemical splash goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a face shield for additional protection as appropriate for the pyrophoric chemical reactions. If an explosive reaction is possible, a face shield and process safety shield are needed.

Pyrophoric chemicals should be stored under an atmosphere of inert gas or under kerosene as appropriate. Avoid areas with heat/flames, oxidizers, and water sources. Containers carrying pyrophoric materials must be clearly labeled with the correct chemical name and hazard warning.

Pyrophoric chemicals are used in research to catalyze certain reactions and often are incorporated into final products. However, they pose significant physical hazards. They are liquids and solids that will ignite spontaneously in the presence of oxygen and water.

A Class D fire extinguisher is recommended for combustible solid metal fires (e.g. sodium), and a standard dry powder (ABC) fire extinguisher is recommended for other materials. Quenching: Used pyrophoric materials should be quenched under an inert atmosphere with adequate cooling.

Pyrophoric reagents can only be handled and stored in fully-sprinklered buildings. Pyrophoric reagents must be handled and stored under an inert atmosphere in a manner to avoid exposure to atmospheric oxygen and moisture. Containers of pyrophoric materials and storage locations must be clearly labeled.

Pyrophoric is a property of certain materials or thermally unstable compounds that ignite spontaneously when they get in touch with the air. This spontaneous combustion can lead to fires and explosions, making pyrophoric materials dangerous to work with.
