Expert Verdict
HDI (hexamethylene diisocyanate, CAS 822-06-0) is classified as a respiratory sensitizer (H334) and skin sensitizer (H317). The finished crosspolymer is considered safe only if residual free HDI is confirmed below 1 ppm. Requires supplier COA with free isocyanate specification. PEG-180 component carries theoretical ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane residual concerns — test per your existing 1,4-dioxane protocol.
