Expert Verdict
Residual HEA and SMDI monomer content must be controlled. PPG-6 segment is generally non-irritating. Same sensitization risk profile as other bis-HEA/SMDI copolymers.. Shorter PPG chain (PPG-6) compared to PPG-10 variant, resulting in a somewhat harder, less flexible film; dual functionality as both a binder in powder formulations and a film-former in nail applications
