Expert Verdict
Same monomer residual concerns as other HEA/SMDI copolymers (skin sensitization from HEA, respiratory sensitization from unreacted SMDI). PPG ethers are generally well-tolerated with good skin compatibility.. The PPG-10 glyceryl ether soft segment confers hydrophilicity and flexibility; polypropylene glycol derivatives provide good skin tolerance and solubility properties; the SMDI hard segment provides film durability
