Expert Verdict

CRITICAL: Vinyl chloride is IARC Group 1 carcinogen (confirmed human carcinogen). Glycidyl Methacrylate is Muta. 2 / Skin Sens. 1. Residual VCM monomer must be non-detectable by headspace GC-MS (LOD โ‰ค1 ppm) and residual GMA analysis required. Inhalation route from spray products presents particular concern.
