Residual Monomer Concern | Isophorone diisocyanate is a reactive sensitizing raw material, so high-quality polymerization and control of residual monomer are important. Finished high-molecular-weight polymer is expected to have low dermal absorption, but limited ingredient-specific safety data support a cautious classification.
