Sensitization risk High

HEMA maleate has GHS classifications indicating it causes skin irritation, may cause an allergic skin reaction, and causes serious eye irritation. While the related compound 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate (HEMA) is known as a weak to moderate sensitizer, particularly in nail products, the specific classification for HEMA maleate points to a direct risk of irritation and sensitization.
