SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

Incompatibilities

May form explosive mixture with air. Butyraldehyde can presumably form explosive peroxides, and may polymerize due to heat or contact with acids or alkalis. Incompatible with oxidizers; contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides, caustics. May accumulate static electrical charges, and may cause ignition of its vapors.
