Acetone is stable under normal storage and use conditions; it does not undergo hazardous polymerization.

It reacts vigorously with strong oxidizing agents such as nitrates, peroxides, and perchlorates. It is also incompatible with mineral acids and halogentated hydrocarbon/alkali mixtures, etc.

Carbon monoxide may be produced upon decomposition
