What's inside

Castor Oil/IPDI Copolymer

Irritant, sensitizer, respiratory toxicity on inhalation of diisocyanate components, regulatory restriction due to diisocyanate exposure risks

Isopropyl Alcohol

Skin irritation, eye irritation, central nervous system effects if inhaled in high concentrations, flammability

Yellow 5

Irritant/sensitizer potential, allergy and hypersensitivity reactions including urticaria and asthma, possible behavioral effects in sensitive children, regulatory limits on use concentration

Yellow 6

Potential allergenic reactions, behavioral effects in sensitive children, regulatory restrictions in some countries

Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate
