Expert Verdict
Residual unreacted monomers are the key concern: HEA (2-hydroxyethyl acrylate) is a known skin sensitizer, and SMDI (4,4′-methylenebis(cyclohexyl isocyanate)) is a respiratory/skin sensitizer if present in unreacted form. The finished copolymer itself is considered inert. Manufacturers must control residual monomer levels rigorously.. Polyurethane acrylate copolymer synthesized from 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, caprolactone, and SMDI; provides a hard, durable, glossy film on nails; UV-curable whe...
