PEG-9 DIMETHACRYLATE

62

Safety score · 0–100

Fine

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

A higher molecular weight PEG-dimethacrylate monomer with similar sensitization concerns to its lower ethoxylated analogs.

PEG-9 Dimethacrylate shares the methacrylate sensitization risks of other acrylate monomers, with the PEG chain increasing solubility while retaining sensitizing potential. EU Regulation 1223/2009 Annexes do not specify concentration limits for PEG-dimethacrylates, but residual monomer levels in finished products are subject to general safety requirements.

Skin benefits

  • Enables durable film-forming cosmetics
  • Contributes to glossy nail coating finishes

Known concerns

  • Skin and respiratory sensitizer potential
  • May trigger allergic reactions in acrylate-sensitive individuals
