DIPENTAERYTHRITYL HEXAACRYLATE.

Avoid / NAIL CONDITIONING

DIPENTAERYTHRITYL HEXAACRYLATE is a high-functionality acrylate monomer recognized for its capacity to undergo rapid polymerization, resulting in the formation of robust, highly crosslinked films. While its primary cosmetic application is in nail products to enhance strength and integrity, its core function lies in creating durable, protective barriers.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates via rapid polymerization, forming a hard, chemical-resistant, and highly crosslinked film upon application. In nail care formulations, this film-forming ability contributes to the conditioning, strength, appearance, and overall integrity of the nail coating by creating a protective layer. No direct mechanism for skin efficacy has been established in the provided data.

Stability

Requires stabilization, typically with polymerization inhibitors such as MEHQ, at concentrations ranging from approximately 270 to 650 ppm, to prevent premature polymerization. Once cured, the resulting film exhibits high resistance to radiation (e.g., X-rays, gamma rays), abrasion, environmental factors, chemicals, and heat.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Moderate

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not conducted a specific safety assessment for DIPENTAERYTHRITYL HEXAACRYLATE. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) GHS classification indicates potential hazards including skin irritation (H315 - Skin Irrit. 2), serious eye irritation (H319), and potential for allergic skin reaction (H317 - Skin Sens. 1A). However, some Safety Data Sheets for the stabilized form classify it as non-hazardous under REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008, with some industrial reports suggesting low skin irritation in coating applications. It is listed in the FDA's Substance Registry System (UNII: 8CJ839PE7X).
