Benefits

FILM FORMING

Considerations

• Ethoxylated Chemical This is an ethoxylated chemical, meaning it’s been created with ethylene oxide, traces of which, along with its carcinogenic byproduct, 1,4-dioxane, can remain in the product. • Endocrine Disruption PEGs have been associated with reproductive toxicity and xenoestrogenic properties.
