Formulation
Stability
Polycaprolactone (PCL), a component, is a hydrophobic, semi-crystalline polymer. It dissolves in organic or acidic solvents, exhibiting good stability at room temperature for up to one year, but degrades in highly acidic conditions (pH 1.65) at 37°C.
Safety
Safety Profile
While not directly reviewed by CIR, related methacrylate ingredients are recognized sensitizers, necessitating skin contact avoidance in high concentrations. Its Polycaprolactone component, however, is biocompatible and FDA-approved for medical devices.
