Expert Verdict
Residual free IPDI (isophorone diisocyanate) must be quantified as IPDI is classified H317 (skin sensitiser 1A) and H334 (respiratory sensitiser). Requires supplier CoA specifying free monomer below detection limit. BSE/TSE compliance required for tallow component. DEA component presents nitrosamine risk from unreacted dihydroxyethyl tallowamine. Demands rigorous scrutiny.
