Highly Reactive Materials Air-Reactives (Pyrophorics) Pyrophoric chemicals will ignite spontaneously upon contact with air due to the extreme rate of oxidation. These must be stored under inert gas or mineral oil or other hydrocarbon liquids. Metals, when finely divided are pyrophoric. Some examples of pyrophoric materials are: manganese, phophorous, chromium, nickel, titanium, iron, calcium, cobalt, boron, cadmium and phosphine.
