SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
The substance can presumably form explosive peroxides upon exposure to air or light. Reacts violently with strong oxidants, amines and acids.
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Ethers can act as bases. They form salts with strong acids and addition complexes with Lewis acids. The complex between diethyl ether and boron trifluoride is an example. Ethers may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. In other reactions, which typically involve the breaking of the carbon-oxygen bond, ethers are relatively inert.
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
Strong oxidizers, strong caustics [Note: May form explosive peroxides upon exposure to air or light].
Hazardous decomposition products

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.

Other Information
Explosive limits are unknown in literature, although the substance is combustible and has a flash point < 61°C.The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort.Rest and medical observation is therefore essential.Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.Check for peroxides prior to distillation; eliminate if found.
