The technical product can contain a certain amount of cumene (10-20%) which changes physical properties. Other UN number: 3109 Organic peroxide, type F. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor, or by an authorized person, should be considered. Rinse contaminated clothing with plenty of water because of fire hazard. |
