Fine
Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A high-EO polymeric urethane thickener used to control viscosity in water-based formulations. The big polymer is non-bioavailable and broadly safe; safety hinges on residual diisocyanate purity from manufacture.
