The creation of sparks from metals is based on the pyrophoricity of small metal particles, and pyrophoric alloys are made for this purpose. [2] Practical applications include the sparking mechanisms in lighters and various toys, using ferrocerium; starting fires without matches, using a firesteel; the flintlock mechanism in firearms; and spark testing ferrous metals.
Division 4.2: Spontaneously Combustible . Spontaneously combustible material is: Pyrophoric Material: A pyrophoric material is a liquid or solid that, even in small quantities and without an external ignition source, can ignite within five (5) minutes after coming in contact with air when tested according to the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria.

Notable examples include alkali metals, lithium through caesium, and alkaline earth metals, magnesium through barium. Some water-reactive substances are also pyrophoric, like organometallics and sulfuric acid. The use of acid-resistant gloves and face shield is recommended for safe handling; fume hoods are another effective control of such ...
Silane (Silicane) is an inorganic compound with chemical formula SiH 4.It is a colorless, pyrophoric, toxic gas with a sharp, repulsive, pungent smell, somewhat similar to that of acetic acid. [5]
Trimethylaluminium is one of the simplest examples of an organoaluminium compound. Despite its name it has the formula Al 2 (CH 3) 6 (abbreviated as Al 2 Me 6 or TMA), as it exists as a dimer. This colorless liquid is pyrophoric. It is an industrially important compound, closely related to triethylaluminium. [3] [4]
Most people enter military service “with the fundamental sense that they are good people and that they are doing this for good purposes, on the side of freedom and country and God,” said Dr. Wayne Jonas, a military physician for 24 years and president and CEO of the Samueli Institute, a non-profit health research organization.
Diethylzinc (C 2 H 5) 2 Zn, or DEZ, is a highly pyrophoric and reactive organozinc compound consisting of a zinc center bound to two ethyl groups. This colourless liquid is an important reagent in organic chemistry. It is available commercially as a solution in hexanes, heptane, or toluene, or as a pure liquid.
