Stability

Tetrahydrofuran will auto-oxidize in the presence of light & O2 to form resinous products that color water from pink to brown at conc above 100-250 mg/l.;May form, organic peroxides when exposed to air or light but usually inhibited against peroxide formation.;Upon contact with air, THF may decompose into explosive peroxides & carbon monoxide.
