About

A HEMA/methacrylate-terminated polyurethane oligomer for nail and lash gels. Cured polymer is inert, but residual HEMA monomer is a known nail-industry allergen — supplier quality matters.

Skin benefits

  • Photo-curable nail/lash film former
  • Strong adhesion and wear
  • Customisable cure profile via methacrylate ends

Known concerns

  • Free HEMA / methacrylate monomer can sensitize (well documented nail allergen class)
  • Residual TMDI/IPDI isocyanate if poorly cured
  • Mystery polymer; limited published cosmetic safety data
