Stability
This flexible urethane acrylate provides durability and chemical resistance to formulations. Proper formulation and avoiding direct skin contact are critical due to its potential allergenicity.
Safety
Safety Profile
While this specific copolymer lacks direct CIR review, related HEMA derivatives are known sensitizers. Though designed for reduced penetration, it can still pose a high sensitization risk if improperly applied. EU regulations for HEMA permit up to 35% for professional use only, with explicit allergy warnings.
