Expert Verdict
As a high-molecular-weight copolymer, it is not expected to penetrate skin. Residual monomers (particularly methacrylates) should be minimized to avoid sensitization. VP (vinylpyrrolidone) residual monomer should be controlled.. Synthetic origin; the combination of ethylhexyl methacrylate (flexibility), methyl methacrylate (hardness), and VP (adhesion/hydrophilicity) allows tunable film properties - flexible yet adherent films with good humidity resistance.
