【Small spills/leaks】Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a suitable clean, dry, closed container for disposal.
Stability and Reactivity
【Stability】Stable under normal temperatures and pressures.
【Incompatibilities】Strong oxidizing agents - strong acids.
【Decomposition】Nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
【Combustion Products】Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
