10 Stability and Reactivity
Used lubricant may become contaminated with pumped product, also verify precautions and
advice against relevant product information
10.1 Conditions to Avoid
• Preparation is stable and unlikely to react in a hazardous manner under normal conditions of
use.
• No special precautions other than good housekeeping of chemicals.
• Hazardous polymerisation reactions are unlikely to occur.
• This material is combustible.
10.2 Materials to Avoid
• Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents, nitrogenous compounds and strong acids: risk of
violent and or explosive reactions with pure compounds.
10.3 Hazardous Decomposition Products
• During burning, poisonous acrolein may be found – very toxic by inhalation.
• Incomplete combustion / thermal decomposition will generate smoke, carbon dioxide and
hazardous gases, including carbon monoxide.
