Reactivity (for Raney Nickel): When activated with NaOH, must evolve hydrogen vigorously and produce an active catalyst slurry.
Iron (Fe): ≤ 0.5 %
Other Metals: ≤ 0.5 % (total)
Hazard Information
Hazard: Flammable solid. In contact with water releases flammable gases. May cause respiratory irritation.
Safety: Keep dry. Handle under inert gas if pyrophoric. Avoid contact with acids and bases. Wear protective gloves and eye protection.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, in a tightly closed, moisture-proof container, under an inert atmosphere. Keep away from water and oxidizing agents.
