About

A urethane acrylate oligomer used in UV/LED-cured nail gel formulations, classified as a sensitiser due to its acrylate functionality and subject to EU restrictions in cosmetic nail products.

Bis-Dicaprolactone Ethoxyacrylate IPDI is a urethane diacrylate oligomer containing caprolactone and ethoxy units, cured via free-radical photopolymerisation. It is primarily used in professional nail gel formulations (UV/LED-cured). EU Annex III entry 1349 and related restrictions limit certain acrylate monomers in cosmetic products intended for nail applications. Sensitisation to acrylates is a known occupational health concern for nail technicians. Home-use nail gel products with this type of ingredient require specific labelling and may be subject to additional restrictions in some EU member states.

Known concerns

  • Acrylate-functional oligomer - skin sensitisation potential
  • Industrial polymer not typically used in conventional cosmetic products
  • May be restricted in nail/UV-cure cosmetic applications
