Wow, I never knew Noalox is potentially pyrophoric. The MSDS sheet lists
the following hazard: Catches fire spontaneously if exposed to air. In
contact with water releases flammable gases, which may ignite spontaneously.

Noalox and similar "drying out"?
According to the website (and the MSDS) it's zinc particles. (and so, it's
potentially pyrophoric, which I didn't expect) and hydrophilic fumed silica.
Apparently Polybutene is the carrier. It's described as "non-drying" and
tacky (apparently it's used in mouse and insect sticky traps). OTOH, it
breaks down into stuff that does evaporate.
