Hazard

The product poses a chemical risk because it contains 96.5 % methyl methacrylate (MMA). In its "Health assessment of nail modelling cosmetics containing methyl metacrylate" of 22 December 2011, the Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung (BfR, Federal Institute for Risk Assessment) considers methyl metacrylate present in concentrations of 80-90 % in the nail modelling cosmetics to be harmful to health due to the high sensitizing potential, which can also cause ongoing damage to nails.

Product description

White plastic canister with label and white plastic screw cap. Clear, mauve liquid with a characteristic odour of methacrylate. Capacity: 1 gallon / 128 fluid ounces.
