SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Decomposes on heating. This produces irritating fumes. Reacts vigorously with oxidants.
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Flammable when exposed to heat or flameThe vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible. The vapour mixes well with air, explosive mixtures are easily formed.Ketones, such as 3-METHYLBUTAN-2-ONE, are reactive with many acids and bases liberating heat and flammable gases (e.g., H2). The amount of heat may be sufficient to start a fire in the unreacted portion of the ketone. Ketones react with reducing agents such as hydrides, alkali metals, and nitrides to produce flammable gas (H2) and heat. Ketones are incompatible with isocyanates, aldehydes, cyanides, peroxides, and anhydrides. They react violently with aldehydes, HNO3, HNO3 + H2O2, and HClO4.
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
Vapors may form explosive mixture with air.
Hazardous decomposition products
When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.

Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: LC50 - Pimephales promelas - > 100 mg/L - 96 h.
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50 - Daphnia magna - > 100 mg/L - 48 h.
- Toxicity to algae: EC50 - Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (previous names: Raphidocelis subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum) - 44.2 mg/L - 72 h.

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Methyl isopropyl ketone, present at 100 mg/L, reached 99 percent of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). The experimental BOD of methyl isopropyl ketone had reached 65.7% of the theoretical BOD after 5 days in 300 mL BOD bottles containing 1 mL seed from a mixed microbial enrichment culture and 0.4 to 3.2 mg/L test substance(2,3). Methyl isopropyl ketone, present at 500 mg/L, in a Warburg repirometer containing 20 mL activated sludge suspension with a suspended solids concentration of 2,500 mg/L, reached 2.2% of the theoretical oxygen demand after 24 hours(4).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 1.4 was calculated in fish for methyl isopropyl ketone(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.84(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC), provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of methyl isopropyl ketone is estimated as 38(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.84(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that methyl isopropyl ketone is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
