Too bad you are not all theaters. If that's in powdered form, we'd store it in the magazine.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Devarda's Alloy
We recently acquired some Dacarda's Alloy and are being faced with whether or not it needs to be stored in a flammables cabinet. We have not yet received an MSDS from the Manufacturer, and even just the NFPA ratings seem to vary incredibly. (Yes we are absolutely looking at the rest of the MSDS, but this provides a quick overview of how differently it is being presented in the different sources.)
From Sigma Aldrich (available from their site, but I am unable to attach here):
NFPA Rating
From ScienceLab MSDS
Health hazard: 0
Fire: 3
Reactivity Hazard: 3
http://www.sciencelab.com/msds.php?msdsId=9923683
From SIRI (not a source I would normally use, but is specifically listing the brand we have)
Health: 3
Flammability: 1
Reactivity: 1
Specific hazard
http://siri.org/msds/mf/baker/baker/files/d0776.htm
Health Rating: 0 - None
Flammability Rating: 1 - Slight
Reactivity Rating: 1 - Slight
Contact Rating: 0 - None
Can anyone shed any light on this particular materials' storage? It has caused some controversy here, and we would appreciate another perspective.. Thank you!
