Expert Verdict
Residual monomer of both methyl methacrylate (sensitizer) and acrylonitrile (classified as a possible carcinogen, IARC Group 2B) must be tightly controlled during manufacturing. The finished copolymer at low residual monomer levels is generally considered safe. Synthetic copolymer combining MMA rigidity with acrylonitrile's barrier properties; provides durable, resistant film formation on skin and hair
