BIS-HEMA POLYCAPROLACTONE/IPDI COPOLYMER.

Optional / NAIL CONDITIONING

BIS-HEMA POLYCAPROLACTONE/IPDI COPOLYMER is a film-forming polymer synthesized from 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), caprolactone, and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI). Its large molecular structure is engineered to prevent biological tissue penetration, making it a safer, less sensitizing alternative to smaller HEMA monomers.

Film-forming

Science

This copolymer functions by forming a robust, plastic-like film upon application, often cured by UV or LED light. Its polymerized form ensures stability and minimizes reactivity.

Stability

As a copolymer, it exhibits inherent stability, reducing sensitization potential compared to monomers. Its lower vapor pressure further contributes to material stability.


Safety

CIR Status
Safe with restrictions
Sensitization risk Low

The CIR found acrylate copolymers generally safe when formulated to be non-irritating. This copolymer is authorized for public sale in the EU due to its large molecular size preventing skin penetration, unlike restricted HEMA monomers.
