[Small spills/leaks]

Absorb spill with inert material, (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place into a chemical waste container.
[Incompatibilities]

Oxidizing agents, reducing agents, acids, bases, aluminum, copper, copper alloys, peroxides, steel, metal oxides.
[Stability]

table only if stored and handled under recommended conditions. The stability of the product depends upon the availability of both dissolved oxygen and MEHQ inhibitor (CAS=150-76-5). The presence of oxygen is necessary for the MEHQ to function effectively. The product should never be stored under an inert gas atmosphere, but should always be stored under an atmosphere containing 5-21% oxygen by volume.
[Decomposition]

Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
